Abstract

The practice of buying and selling paddy in Teluk Meku Village is still conventional, with no written contracts, which weakens the bargaining position of farmers as prices are determined by middlemen and often fall below government standards. Non-cash payment systems, such as installments or deductions from future harvests, further increase farmers' dependence. From a sharia perspective, this practice does not fully align with the principles of justice, transparency, and honesty due to information imbalances and potential elements of gharar (uncertainty). In terms of positive law, Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection guarantees farmers' rights to price and quality information, but its implementation remains weak due to limited government oversight and lack of socialization. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach through observation, interviews, and literature review. The results show that farmers suffer economic, legal, and sharia-related disadvantages due to limited market access and reliance on middlemen. The proposed solutions include forming cooperatives or farmer groups and strengthening government roles in price monitoring and educating farmers about their rights, aiming to create fairer transactions and reduce dependency on middlemen.

Abstract

The All You Can Eat (AYCE) dining system, which allows consumers to consume unlimited food for a fixed price, has become increasingly popular in modern culinary businesses. However, this system has generated debate from the perspective of Islamic economic law, particularly concerning issues of contractual clarity (ta?y?n), uncertainty (gharar), and fairness between sellers and consumers. This study examines the AYCE system from two legal perspectives: Indonesian Consumer Protection Law, specifically Law No. 8 of 1999, and the Islamic jurisprudential perspective of the Sh?fi?? school. The objective of this research is to analyze the conformity of AYCE practices with consumer protection principles and the requirements of a valid sale contract according to the Sh?fi?? madhhab. This study employs a normative-empirical research method with a conceptual approach, analyzing legal texts, fiqh doctrines, and empirical practices in AYCE businesses. The findings indicate that, from the perspective of positive law, the AYCE system is legally permissible provided that consumers receive clear, accurate, and non-misleading information, and that no element of coercion is present. From the Sh?fi?? perspective, the validity of the transaction depends on mutual consent (tar???) and transparency between the seller and buyer. Although the AYCE system contains elements of ambiguity in terms of portion size, consumption time limits, and the imposition of fines, such ambiguities are tolerated as long as they do not result in harm (?arar) or injustice to either party. This study contributes to contemporary Islamic economic discourse by providing a legal and jurisprudential framework for understanding modern consumption systems and serves as a reference for Muslim business practitioners and academics in aligning commercial practices with both consumer protection law and Sharia principles.
