<![CDATA[The development of the digital economy has introduced affiliate marketing as a key strategy for expanding Indonesia's e-commerce market. This study aims to analyze the legal status of contracts (akad) within affiliate schemes in accordance with the principles of fiqh mu'āmalah and to examine their implementation in the digital ecosystem. The research employs a normative method with a literature review approach, analyzed descriptively and qualitatively using Nvivo 12 Plus to trace secondary data from journals, online media, and relevant regulations. The findings indicate that affiliate practices can be classified as ju‘ālah, wakālah, or ijārah contracts, provided the essential elements and requirements of the agreement are met. However, in practice, several issues remain, including unclear commission calculation systems, delayed payments, bonus mechanisms that may resemble maysir, and the risk of riba in payment processes handled through third parties.

The study concludes that affiliate systems have a valid sharia-based legal basis but require specific regulations to ensure legal certainty and protection for all parties involved.]]>
