The current trend in wedding receptions often highlights high expenditures. Although some can afford significant expenses, such spending may not necessarily comply with Sharia guidelines in managing wedding expenses. Many young individuals today are willing to involve themselves in debt solely to allocate funds for a wedding expenditure beyond their personal financial means. This situation highlights the need for the development of a specific guideline in the form of a model to manage wedding expenses. The constructed model needs to be based on the principles of Maqasid Shariah to ensure the preservation of wealth is achieved. Therefore, this study aims to examine the methods of constructing a wedding expense management model based on the principles of Maqasid Shariah. Through qualitative research, data is collected through three methods: documentation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). A total of six experts were interviewed using a semi-structured approach, and five individuals participated as a panel in the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) sessions. This study identified the method of constructing the model starting with the determination of Maqasid elements necessary to be applied in the model, the classification of the model, and subsequent improvements based on scholarly discussions by the FGD panel members. The constructed model was then validated by experts, refined, given a name, and registered as an intellectual property under the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (Perbadanan Harta Intelek Malaysia).
