Abstract

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has generated new opportunities for commerce, communication, and innovation, while simultaneously producing complex legal and ethical challenges with profound implications for religious communities in plural societies. Practices such as fraudulent halal certification in online markets, algorithmic bias affecting devotional content, misinformation that exacerbates interreligious tensions, and fintech models that risk violating prohibitions on riba, gharar, and maisir illustrate how digital governance intersects with religious norms and international legal standards. This article examines five key domains in which these interactions are most visible: consumer protection, religious data privacy, online speech and blasphemy-adjacent harms, fintech ethics, and the recognition of cross-border electronic contracts. The study analyzes statutory instruments, international regulatory frameworks, and Sharia jurisprudence alongside Christian and secular legal-ethical perspectives to assess points of convergence and divergence. The findings reveal substantial agreement across traditions on prohibiting fraud, ensuring transparency, and protecting human dignity, alongside persistent tensions regarding religious sensitivities in advertising, content moderation, and financial design. To address these challenges, the article proposes a harmonization roadmap that includes soft-law guidance for digital platforms, faith-sensitive model clauses for e-contracts and online dispute resolution, judicial interpretive canons grounded in maqāṣid al-sharīʿah and international human-rights norms, regulatory sandboxes for ethical fintech innovation, and academic partnerships for training, auditing, and accountability. By situating digital-economy governance within an interfaith legal framework, the article offers a pathway for transforming digital marketplaces into spaces of fairness, inclusivity, and constructive interreligious coexistence, with particular relevance for Muslim-majority contexts such as Indonesia.

Abstract

Pornography offenses continue to raise significant legal concerns because criminal law seeks to safeguard morality, privacy, and human dignity, while the current regulatory framework still allows personal possession or storage of pornographic material. This exception creates uncertainty in legal interpretation, weakens enforcement, and limits protection for victims, especially in cases involving hidden recordings, digital exploitation, and misuse of intimate images when offenders claim personal use. This study aims to examine whether the regulation of pornography for personal use reflects justice, to identify weaknesses in the current legal framework, and to formulate a fairer regulatory reconstruction. This study employs a socio legal research method that combines normative legal analysis with empirical assessment of social realities, law enforcement practices, and public responses. The study evaluates statutory provisions together with actual cases to measure the gap between legal norms and practical implementation. The findings show that the current regulation does not achieve justice because the personal use exception creates a loophole that allows harmful conduct to avoid criminal sanctions. The study identifies three weaknesses. First, the substance of the law contains ambiguity and multiple interpretations that weaken its objectives. Second, the legal structure remains fragmented and less responsive to digital crime. Third, legal culture reflects permissive attitudes that treat pornography as a private matter despite broader social harm. This study concludes that lawmakers should remove the personal use exception and establish clear rules that ensure dignity, morality, privacy, certainty, and justice.
