| Summary: | Many among the victims of umrah package scams have appeared on television and in the press have been witnessing the widespread activity of umrah package scams. Umrah package scams have become a syndicate in Malaysia with a variety of fraudulent methods, using artist influence, Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) methods and so on. Low levels of awareness among the public are among the factors contributing to this fraudulent activity. Islam has outlined clear rules regarding lawful business activities in Islamic law. Thus any form of fraud and obscurity that does not meet the requirements of the Islamic law is avoided. The objective of this study is to identify cases of umrah fraud. In addition, this study describes Islamic business strategies as an attempt to deal with umrah packages. The methodology of this study is a conceptual study involving studies in journal articles, books and mass media. The results of this study discuss the cases of Umrah fraud and the Islamic business approach to address the umrah fraud case among the public. This study suggests that more consumer awareness programs be carried out from various parties, especially the government. Umrah companies and umrah management should take responsibility for running a business that produces halal profits in Islam. In addition, academic studies on umrah package frauds need to be intensified to get rid this umrah fraud scheme. © 2019. All Rights Reserved.
