This research is motivated by the increasing incidence of oil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB) theft in Tigo Nagari District, Pasaman Regency, and the growing application of restorative justice in resolving such cases. Despite its widespread implementation in Indonesia, empirical studies examining the effectiveness of restorative justice in oil palm theft cases from the perspective of ta’zir remain limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of restorative justice in creating a deterrent effect and to examine its relevance to the concept of ta’zir in Islamic criminal law. This study employs a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and literature review and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that restorative justice is effective in resolving disputes peacefully, restoring social relations, and preventing recidivism among offenders. However, its broader deterrent effect remains limited due to economic factors, low legal awareness, and the persistence of family-based dispute resolution practices. The study further demonstrates that restorative justice is compatible with the concept of ta’zir, as both emphasize offender rehabilitation, social restoration, community protection, and crime prevention. This research contributes to the literature by integrating the effectiveness of restorative justice with the ta’zir perspective in addressing oil palm FFB theft cases. The findings also suggest that the concept of ta’zir provides a normative foundation for the application of restorative justice in minor criminal offenses.
