This is a promising business opportunity that can generate large profits. Muslim communities in Indonesia and in Samarinda City do a lot of hamper businesses on Muslim and non-Muslim holidays. In this case, there are three formulations of the problem in this study, namely, related to the background of Muslim communities doing hamper buying and selling businesses on non-Muslim holidays, then, the condition of the hamper business in Muslim communities during non-Muslim holidays, and also the Muslim community's hamper business on non-Muslim holidays from the perspective of maqashid sharia. This type of research is field research using normative legal and sociological legal approaches. The data sources used are secondary data sources and primary data. Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions and inductive thinking patterns to draw conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the existence of hamper orders or the increasing number of consumer requests can help others, especially in non-Muslim holiday celebrations and sellers can take advantage to meet their needs, so this is the background for Muslim communities to do hamper business on non-Muslim holidays. The condition of the hamper business on non-Muslim holidays is very busy ordering and buying hampers. As for the maqashid sharia, it does not conflict with Islamic values ​​based on the rules of fiqh, namely "all forms of muamalah are permitted as long as there is no evidence that prohibits it" and during his life the Prophet Muhammad SAW also had good relations with non-Muslims in terms of social, political and muamalah relations. During his lifetime, the Prophet Muhammad SAW once committed muamalah with non-Muslims, namely pawning armor to buy basic food.
