Predatory journals are a form of scientific publication practice that exploits researchers’ lack of knowledge and publication needs by offering publishing services that fail to meet academic standards, potentially causing financial, academic, and reputational harm to victims. This study aims to analyze the concept of legal protection for victims of predatory journals in Indonesia and to construct such protection from the perspective of Islamic criminal law (Fiqh Jinayah). This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Legal materials were obtained through library research, including legislation, books, scholarly articles, and other relevant legal sources. The results show that legal protection for victims of predatory journals in Indonesia has not yet been specifically and explicitly regulated. Nevertheless, predatory journal practices may be addressed through legal provisions concerning fraud, misleading information, electronic transactions, consumer protection, and academic integrity. Such protection remains primarily focused on prevention and enforcement, while mechanisms for recovering victims’ financial losses and academic reputations have not been comprehensively regulated. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, predatory journal practices are related to the concepts of tadlis, unlawful appropriation of property, and jarimah ta’zir. Victim protection may be grounded in the principles of hifz al-mal and hifz al-’ird, while prevention and recovery may be strengthened through the principles of sadd al-dhari’ah, radd al-haqq, and maslahah. Therefore, legal protection for victims of predatory journals needs to be developed comprehensively through preventive measures, enforcement against perpetrators, and the restoration of victims’ rights and reputations.
