Using a qualitative‎ approach through case studies, data was collected from in-depth interviews with business‎ actors, consumers, and sharia economic experts. The results identified various‎ forms of violations such as price manipulation, data misuse, and fraudulent practices. ‎The main factors that trigger violations include weak regulations, low digital literacy,‎ and unfair business competition.
