Abstract

This study investigates the legality of Bitcoin from the perspective of Fiqh Muamalah through qualitative analysis and literature review. Fiqh Muamalah, an Islamic jurisprudential framework, regulates economic transactions according to Sharia law. The research examines whether Bitcoin, as a digital currency, aligns with Islamic legal and ethical standards by analyzing scholarly articles, religious texts, and fatwas issued by Islamic scholars. Key considerations include Bitcoin's nature as a currency, its speculative role, and potential for illicit activities. Findings reveal diverse scholarly opinions, with some viewing Bitcoin as permissible under specific conditions, while others raise concerns about its speculative nature and lack of intrinsic value. This study aims to provide comprehensive insights into Bitcoin's legality within Fiqh Muamalah, offering valuable information for policymakers, financial institutions, and Muslim investors.

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of the availability of Islamic financing on the economic growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sukabumi. A sample of 197 MSMEs participated in the study, providing data on Islamic financing utilization, financial performance indicators, and other relevant variables. The analysis employs Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships between these variables. The results reveal a significant and positive relationship between the availability of Islamic financing and the economic growth of MSMEs. Additionally, the study uncovers the mediating role of financial performance indicators, indicating that improved financial performance acts as a mechanism through which Islamic financing positively influences economic growth. Furthermore, the moderation analysis highlights the varying impact across different enterprise sizes, with medium-sized enterprises experiencing a more pronounced positive effect. The practical implications of these findings are discussed in the context of policy, financial institutions, and MSME owners. Policymakers can use the results to design targeted policies, financial institutions can refine their strategies, and MSME owners gain insights into the benefits of utilizing Islamic financing.

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationships that exist between innovation, competitiveness, and competition legislation in West Java, Indonesian businesses. West Java's varied industrial landscape makes it a perfect place to study how competition legislation influences creativity and competitiveness. Using a mixed-method approach, the study combines survey data that is quantitatively collected with qualitative information obtained through interviews. The results show that a sizable majority of West Javan businesses have a favorable opinion of competition legislation and see it as a tool for ensuring openness and fair competition. Notably, a significant fraction of these businesses also devote a notable amount of their resources to research and development (R&D) and actively participate in innovation activities. According to the survey's findings, firms may be encouraged to invest in innovation by competition laws that are properly implemented, which is consistent with neoclassical economic theory. In spite of the favorable attitudes and investments in innovation, there are differences amongst West Javan enterprises in competitiveness metrics like market share and profitability. This highlights the intricate connection—which varies depending on the sector and industry—between company competitiveness and competition legislation. Qualitative insights gleaned from interviews shed light on the dynamics and obstacles unique to the industry, highlighting the necessity of customized strategies for competition law enforcement. The paper also outlines obstacles, including a lack of knowledge about competition law among enterprises, resource limitations that regulatory bodies must deal with, and worries about intellectual property protection in very competitive markets. These results highlight the need of raising awareness and developing capacity among regulatory agencies as well as businesses. The research has consequences for policymaking as well, pointing to the need for programs to raise business understanding, provide funding to regulatory bodies, and create safeguards for intellectual property rights. The study adds to our knowledge of how competition legislation affects corporate behavior and offers insightful information that can guide regulatory strategies in developing nations like West Java.
