Abstract

The background of this study is the growing practice of motor vehicle trade-ins as a transaction mechanism considered practical and efficient, yet still raising issues related to price transparency, contractual clarity, and compliance with Islamic economic principles. This study aims to analyze the implementation mechanism of motor vehicle trade-in practices at Sabak Motor and to examine their conformity with the principles of Islamic economics. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study strategy. Primary data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the showroom owner, employees, and consumers, while secondary data were derived from fiqh muamalah literature, academic journals, and DSN-MUI fatwas. Data were analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the findings. The results indicate that the trade-in practice at Sabak Motor is conducted through the integration of the sale of an old vehicle and the purchase of a new vehicle within a single transaction process. Although the practice fulfills the basic elements of a sale and purchase contract, several issues remain, particularly regarding price determination transparency, information dominance by the dealer, and the ambiguity of the contract structure, which potentially gives rise to elements of gharar. This study contributes to expanding Islamic economics discourse on motor vehicle trade practices and emphasizes the importance of implementing the principles of justice, transparency, and mutual consent in contemporary muamalah transactions.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the wage practices applied to palm oil loading and unloading laborers in Lambur II Village, which still experience several issues, including delayed wage payments, unclear scopes of work, and unequal bargaining positions between laborers and employers within informal employment relations. These conditions raise questions regarding the conformity of the wage system with the principles of the ijarah contract in Islamic economic law, particularly concerning the clarity of ujrah (wages), justice, and punctuality of payment. This study aims to analyze the wage system of palm oil loading and unloading laborers based on the pillars and conditions of the ijarah contract and to evaluate its conformity with the principles of fiqh muamalah. The research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving laborers and palm oil business owners in Lambur II Village, and were analyzed using triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the wage practices have fulfilled the basic elements of the ijarah contract; however, their implementation has not fully met the principles of contractual clarity, payment certainty, and justice in employment relations. Delayed wage payments and the assignment of additional tasks beyond the initial agreement indicate the persistence of ambiguity in the implementation of the contract. This study contributes to the development of empirical Islamic economic law studies concerning the implementation of ijarah contracts in informal labor relations within palm oil plantation communities.
