Abstract :

Environmental legal discourses discuss the legal relationship between humans, the environment, and existing social powers. Islam's attention to all areas of human life, especially the environment, can provide the basis for the development of environmental rights, especially in response to environmental crises. In this research, the new approach of discursive institutionalism has been used to study environmental rights from the perspective of Islam. In it, the discourse theory of Lacla and Moufe is integrated with institutionalism and based on the dialectical relationship of discourses as macro-level mentalities with the objective realities of society (institutions involved in the environment. In the structure of Islamic legal discourse about the environment around the central sign of "God-centered approach to the environment", a semantic system consisting of the main signifiers of "mutual relationship between man and the environment", "legal rules supporting the environment", "jurisprudential institutions including considerations Environment" and "Environmental rules and lifestyle of Islam" have been formed. This discourse has the ability to be realized and implemented in the context of institutional arrangements including enfal, commonalities, accounting and ownership. The discursive institutionalism approach, by providing a context for the development of Islamic environmental rights, can inspire the formulation of laws and the way of implementing environmental laws. Undoubtedly, the hegemony of the Islamic legal discourse on the environment will bring many fruits in the protection and protection of the environment.
