Abstract

The East Java MUI Fatwa Number 4 of 2022 on Digital Transactions with the Paylater System emerged amid a national normative vacuum, as the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulama Council (DSN-MUI) has yet to issue a fatwa specifically regulating paylater mechanisms. This study aims to analyse: (1) the dynamics of contemporary fatwas in the digital age amid the absence of national Sharia regulation concerning paylater systems; (2) the forms of resistance articulated by the East Java MUI through Fatwa Number 4 of 2022; and (3) the dissemination of the fatwa and its reception among Muslim communities in East Java. This research employs a mixed methods approach integrating normative juridical and empirical perspectives. Primary data were collected through a survey involving 50 respondents across East Java, while secondary data consisted of the fatwa document, relevant DSN-MUI fatwas, academic literature, and media coverage related to digital financial transactions. The findings reveal three principal forms of resistance: resistance to usury (riba) manifested in interest-based charges, resistance to late payment penalties, and resistance to coercive debt collection practices, including intimidation and public shaming. However, this resistance does not amount to an absolute prohibition of paylater systems; rather, it represents a constructive normative critique that opens pathways for the development of Sharia-compliant paylater products. The study further demonstrates that fatwa dissemination remains ineffective, with only 28% of respondents aware of the fatwa’s existence. This research offers a dual contribution. Normatively, it formulates Sharia compliance criteria applicable to paylater mechanisms in the absence of a dedicated DSN-MUI fatwa. Empirically, it provides the first survey-based evidence regarding public awareness and reception of contemporary fatwas within the context of digital Islamic consumer finance governance.

Abstract

Local traditions surrounding the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages among Madurese communities have received limited scholarly attention, particularly within comparative transnational contexts. While existing studies documented the cultural significance of pilgrimage in Madura, less is known about how these traditions are reconfigured when Madurese communities migrate and inhabit different socio-political environments. This study examined how Hajj and Umrah practices are organized, experienced, and transformed among Madurese communities in Indonesia and among Madurese migrants in Malaysia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving community members, religious leaders, and academics. The findings revealed a clear contrast between the two contexts: in Madura, pilgrimage traditions remained highly visible and communally celebrated, reinforcing social cohesion and moral recognition, while in Malaysia these practices tended to be simplified and selectively expressed as adaptive responses to minority positioning, sociopolitical regulation, and norms of public visibility. The study demonstrated that Hajj and Umrah function not only as acts of worship but also as culturally embedded performances through which identity, belonging, and social legitimacy are negotiated within transnational social fields. By foregrounding the interplay between ritual, culture, and mobility, this research contributes to broader discussions on lived Islam, migration, and the dynamic transformation of religious practices across national boundaries.
