Abstract

Climate change mitigation has encouraged the use of carbon pricing instruments, particularly carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS). While these mechanisms are widely adopted for their economic efficiency, their ethical legitimacy remains contested in Muslim-majority contexts, where economic activities must conform to Islamic principles. This study examines the compatibility of carbon pricing instruments with Islamic economic jurisprudence, focusing on the ethical validity of ETS and carbon taxation. Using a qualitative normative-interpretive approach, the study analyzes Islamic legal sources, policy documents, and relevant literature, supported by expert consultation for analytical triangulation. The analysis is grounded in fiqh al-mu'amalah, Islamic fiscal ethics, maqasid al-shariah, and Sharia Enterprise Theory. Rather than measuring policy effectiveness empirically, the study evaluates carbon pricing based on transaction structure, ownership characteristics, and the presence of uncertainty or speculative elements. The findings indicate that emissions trading systems raise significant shariah concerns. Carbon allowances function as administrative permissions rather than tangible or usufruct-based assets, creating issues related to gharar and speculative trading. In contrast, carbon taxation shows stronger compatibility with Islamic fiscal principles when implemented transparently, proportionally, and with revenues allocated for public welfare and environmental protection. This study contributes by reframing, carbon pricing as an issue of ethical governance rather than technical efficiency. It concludes that carbon taxation, supported by maqasid al-shariah and Islamic fiscal principles, offers a more ethically defensible pathway for climate policy in Muslim-majority contexts.

Abstract

Cassava chips are a highly sought-after treat for Indonesian people. PT. Sinar Utami is a microbusiness located in Paseh Village, Sumedang Regency, producing cassava chips by involving housewives as production partners. This research aims to identify obstacles in the production process of cassava chips and discover solutions to increase production efficiency. The research methods used include observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The research results reveal that the obstacles in production are the manual milling, pressing, and cutting processes, which require a long time. Drying depends on the weather, as well as on dust that sticks to it during the drying process. In addition to that, there are challenges with production partners concerning skill gaps and accuracy. An analysis of economic aspects indicates that PT. Sinar Utami positively contributes by creating job opportunities for local workers, which enhances their household incomes. To overcome production constraints, we have designed simple tools aimed at improving efficiency. Meanwhile, regarding obstacles with production partners, we recommend organizing a seminar focused on fostering appropriate work attitudes in line with Islamic principles. We hope this research will support PT. Sinar Utami to boost cassava chips to meet the growing market demand.
