Abstract

Agricultural commodity price instability in perishable markets is commonly explained as a supply–demand imbalance, yet such an interpretation overlooks the structural role of time constraints in market exchange. This study examines how post-harvest technology functions not only as a productivity tool but as an economic governance mechanism within the framework of Islamic economic law. Using an empirical legal method combined with juridical–sociological analysis, field interviews were conducted with horticultural farmers in Ngablak, Magelang, and interpreted through maqāṣid asy-syarī’ah and qawā‘id fiqhiyyah. The findings show that price volatility originates from forced-sale conditions caused by limited shelf life, where farmers sell under biological time pressure rather than economic choice. The application of Chitasil edible coating extends shelf life, enabling intertemporal selling and reducing the Price Stability Index from 1.37 (indicating high volatility) to approximately 0.6 (indicating moderate fluctuation). The mechanism stabilizes prices not by controlling prices directly but by redistributing temporal risk in market transactions. From the perspective of Islamic economic law, the technology eliminates the cause of value depreciation (raf’ aḍ-ḍarar), protects economic value (ḥifẓ al-māl), and restores proportional risk–benefit relations (al-gunmu bi al-gurmi). Furthermore, the technology functions as an institutional instrument of distributive justice by equalizing bargaining capacity without regulatory price intervention. This study concludes that post-harvest technology operates as a maqāṣid-based economic governance mechanism: justice is achieved through structural market design rather than contractual restriction. The contribution lies in repositioning agricultural technology from a production tool into a normative instrument of distributive justice within Islamic economic law.

Abstract

Teaching English in Islamic higher education requires contextualized approaches that align linguistic competence with students’ disciplinary needs. This study explores the teaching of English for Islamic Law students at UIN Salatiga, focusing on the relevance of English as an academic and professional tool in Islamic legal studies. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research investigates students’ needs, learning challenges, and instructional strategies used in the classroom. The findings indicate that students perceived English as important for accessing international legal and Islamic scholarship; however, they reported low confidence, limited vocabulary mastery, and difficulties relating classroom content to their disciplinary studies. The study also found a mismatch between existing General English materials and the academic needs of Islamic Law students. Both students and lecturers emphasized the need for ESP-oriented instruction incorporating Islamic legal terminology, authentic disciplinary texts, and communicative learning activities. The study recommends integrating Islamic legal content, authentic texts, and communicative learning activities to improve students’ motivation, participation, and learning outcomes. This research contributes to the growing discussion on discipline-specific English instruction in Islamic higher education and highlights the importance of contextualized language learning for future Islamic legal professionals.
