Abstract

This study examines cooperative practices in broiler chicken farming in Geragai District, where the prevalent core–plasma partnership model raises persistent issues of equity, transparency, and risk distribution. The primary objective is to describe the cooperation between plasma farmers and core companies and assess its alignment with Islamic economic principles. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, and were subjected to thematic analysis with triangulation to ensure validity. Findings indicate that core companies dominate price setting, chick quality, and harvest timing, while plasma farmers bear mortality risk and additional costs, producing an uneven allocation of profits and risks. Contracts are frequently insufficiently detailed or not fully documented in writing, resulting in ambiguous agreements that contravene Islamic commercial ethics. The study contributes theoretically by reaffirming the relevance of the concepts of syirkah and mudharabah in evaluating partnership models, and practically by recommending more equitable, transparent, and Sharia-compliant contracts. It also highlights implications for future research and the need to strengthen Sharia legal literacy among plasma farmers.

Abstract

The proliferation of financial technology (fintech) has reshaped global and national financial systems, including practices within Muslim households in Indonesia. Beyond enabling efficient transactions, fintech holds potential to advance the objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, particularly in ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of wealth). This study examines how fintech is employed as a medium for family financial transactions and assesses its alignment with Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah principles. Adopting a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using triangulation techniques. Findings indicate that Muslim families utilize fintech for bill payments, budgeting, and sharia-compliant investments, with varying levels of digital literacy. Fintech demonstrably enhances convenience, security, and efficiency, although challenges persist, including data security risks, limited literacy, and uncertainties regarding Sharia regulatory oversight. The study contributes theoretically by shifting Islamic fintech discourse to the micro-level of households and offers practical implications for designing fintech products that better serve Muslim family needs while supporting clear, sharia-compliant regulatory frameworks.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of financial technology in Indonesia has reshaped everyday transaction patterns, notably through digital wallets and paylater services offered by e-commerce platforms such as Shopee. While these services deliver convenience, efficiency, and broader accessibility, questions remain regarding their alignment with the principles of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, particularly the protection of wealth and the prevention of consumer harm. This study analyzes the transaction mechanics of ShopeePay and evaluates their conformity with maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and validated via triangulation. Findings indicate that ShopeePay, as an electronic payment instrument, is perceived as efficient, secure, and supportive of financial inclusion; however, the Shopee PayLater feature introduces ethical concerns due to potential interest-like late fees and heightened risks of consumptive behavior. The study advances the Islamic fintech literature by underscoring the need to integrate maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah into assessments of digital financial services and offers practical implications for regulators and industry practitioners to design Sharia-compliant contractual models and strengthen ethics-driven digital financial literacy.

Abstract

The increasing demand for animal protein in Indonesia has driven the growth of the broiler chicken farming sector, including in Pematang Rahim Village, Mendahara Ulu, which exhibits diverse partnership dynamics between farmers and business partners. This study aims to identify the partnership models adopted by broiler chicken farmers in the region and evaluate their alignment with Islamic economic principles. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study strategy, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving farmers partnered with both corporate entities and individual brokers. The findings reveal that formal structures, written contracts, provision of production inputs, and technical guidance characterize corporate partnerships. In contrast, individual partnerships are informal, flexible, and lack oversight and equitable risk-sharing mechanisms. From an Islamic economic perspective, corporate partnerships resemble syirkah principles, while individual partnerships reflect mudharabah practices with notable deviations from fairness and transparency. This study contributes conceptually to the development of partnership models based on maqashid sharia, emphasizing justice, sustainability, and public welfare. The implications of these findings are relevant for policymakers, practitioners, and Islamic financial institutions in designing livestock partnerships that are locally adaptive and aligned with Islamic values.

Abstract

The digital transformation of the commercial sector has encouraged communities to adopt online trading systems, including in Kelurahan Talang Babat, where the practice of ordering goods based on specific customer requirements has become increasingly common. In this context, the Ba’i Istisna contract, as a form of Islamic legal agreement that allows for the production of goods upon request, emerges as a relevant and applicable mechanism. This study aims to examine how the implementation of Ba’i Istisna in online transactions influences consumer trust and to identify the challenges encountered in its application. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological strategy, data were collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with business actors and consumers, and then analyzed thematically using triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that contract transparency, clarity of product specifications, and seller accountability are key factors in fostering customer loyalty, while regulatory limitations, digital literacy gaps, and technological readiness remain significant barriers to the optimal application of Islamic principles. These results contribute to the development of a community-based sharia-compliant transaction model that is adaptive to digital dynamics and offer a conceptual foundation for local policy formulation and inclusive Islamic economic education.

Abstract

Islamic cooperatives have emerged as alternative microfinance institutions expected to meet the public’s demand for a fair, transparent, and Sharia-compliant financing system. However, in practice, the implementation of profit-sharing contracts such as mudharabah and musyarakah still faces various challenges, particularly in terms of member comprehension, profit distribution mechanisms, and the effectiveness of cooperative education programs. This study aims to analyze the application of Sharia contracts in microenterprise financing by Islamic cooperatives and to evaluate members’ perceptions and experiences of the system. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study strategy, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis from Islamic cooperatives actively financing micro-entrepreneurs. The findings reveal that members’ understanding of Sharia contracts remains limited, transparency in profit-sharing is suboptimal, and cooperative training programs have not reached all members equitably. Although cooperative financing has positively impacted members’ business development, such success is not yet fully supported by operational systems aligned with Sharia values. This study contributes conceptually to strengthening community-based Islamic economic theory and offers practical recommendations for cooperative managers and policymakers in designing more equitable, participatory, and sustainable financing systems.

Abstract

The limitation of cemetery land has become an increasingly complex issue alongside population growth and the scarcity of public space, prompting the emergence of alternative practices in cemetery land management at the community level. This study aims to describe the practice of cemetery land transactions in Bandar Jaya Village, Rantau Rasau Subdistrict, and to analyze it from the perspective of Islamic law. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological strategy, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the practice does not take the form of conventional buying and selling, but rather a collective contribution system that grants long-term usage rights to cemetery land within family structures, accompanied by fund management for social purposes and community investment. From the perspective of Islamic law, this practice tends to align with the principles of muamalah as long as it upholds justice, public benefit, and avoids prohibited elements, while also resembling the concepts of usufruct rights and waqf in the management of public assets. This study contributes to the enrichment of contemporary Islamic legal scholarship by offering a contextual analysis and proposing a sustainable, community-based model for cemetery land management oriented toward social welfare.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct the conceptual framework of money in Islamic economics through a comparative analysis of classical and contemporary literature. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, analyzing classical works of prominent scholars such as Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun, alongside contemporary contributions from modern Islamic economists. The data are examined through descriptive-analytical and comparative techniques to identify continuity, divergence, and transformation in the conceptualization of money. The findings reveal that both classical and modern Islamic scholars consistently reject the commodification of money and emphasize its functional role in facilitating real economic activities. Classical literature highlights moral restrictions, including the prohibition of riba, hoarding (ikhtikar), and speculative practices, while modern literature extends these principles into discussions on monetary reform, financial instruments, and alignment with maqasid al-shariah. This study contributes by offering a conceptual synthesis that bridges classical foundations with contemporary economic challenges, providing a more integrated theoretical framework for Islamic monetary thought. The implications suggest the need for reorientation of modern financial systems toward ethical, justice-oriented, and stability-driven principles as advocated in Islamic economics

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of literacy on community decision-making in engaging in credit-based buying and selling transactions containing elements of riba in Geragai District, Tanjung Jabung Timur. The research focuses on members of the local community as its primary subjects. A quantitative approach was employed using a simple random sampling technique, resulting in a total of 50 respondents. Data were analyzed using a t-test and simple linear regression with the assistance of Microsoft Excel. The findings reveal that literacy has a positive and statistically significant influence on community decisions to engage in credit transactions involving riba. This indicates that higher levels of literacy are associated with more informed and rational decision-making regarding such financial practices. The study highlights the importance of improving literacy particularly in the context of financial and Islamic perspectives to guide communities toward more appropriate economic behavior
