In Islam, it is forbidden for a man or a woman to imitate the characteristics of the opposite gender, especially through gender reassignment surgery. These individuals are known as transgender. Malaysia is not exempt from transgender issues, as this group openly displays their identity and voices their concerns within society. The influence of transgender individuals spreads through various factors, especially social media, leading some susceptible members of society to imitate and become trapped in the transgender phenomenon. This scenario has drawn the attention of various relevant parties, such as JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) and State Islamic Religious Departments. Various approaches have been implemented to address this issue, but the impact has been less than satisfactory, as indicated by statistics released by JAKIM. In Islam, there is a specific approach to prevent actions that may have negative implications in the future, known as sad al-dharai' (blocking the means). Therefore, this study has three main objectives. First, to identify the factors influencing individuals involved in transgender issues. Second, to explain the concept of sad al-dharai' in Islam. Third, to analyze the application of sad al-dharai' as a mechanism for preventing transgender issues in Malaysia. To achieve these objectives, a documentary research method is employed. Documentary research is conducted to gather relevant data on transgender issues in Malaysia. Content analysis is used to interpret the collected data. The findings of this study indicate the need to strengthen the management of transgender issues in Malaysia, as it contradicts the teachings of Islam, the federal religion, and goes against local cultural norms and customs. The sad al-dharai' approach can serve as an important mechanism, particularly in preventing the initiation of transgender behaviors within families and society.
