Abstract

Indonesia’s retail sector faces challenges adapting to recent VAT policy changes amid ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 downturn. This study examines the relationship between the VAT rate increase—from 11% to 12% in April 2022—and consumer purchasing power, using a mixed-methods approach grounded in Islamic ethics. Conducted across five major Indonesian cities, the analysis reveals that the tax increase has spurred improvements in financial planning, with 78% of respondents reporting more structured shopping behavior. Consumer adaptation strategies—including digital tools and loyalty programs—resulted in 15–20% savings. Demand elasticity varied by product type: essential goods showed low elasticity (-0.3), while non-essentials exhibited higher elasticity (-1.2), reflecting consumer prioritization. The retail sector demonstrated resilience, growing from 3.2% to 4.2%, with operational efficiency rising from 82% to 88% and digital transformation reaching 87%. These findings offer empirical support for the positive effects of fiscal adjustments and highlight the role of Islamic ethics in promoting prudent, purposeful consumption.

Abstract

Notwithstanding the fact that Indonesia has the world’s largest Muslim population, zakat collection through formal institutions is substantially below expectations. In light of this shortfall, this study investigates the interplay between religiosity and social capital on individual preferences for zakat payments and the proportion allocated to official zakat agencies, with the overarching aim of contextualizing the fiqh zakat framework in contemporary Indonesia. Drawing upon the data from a nationwide survey of 794 respondents, the empirical analysis employs Linear Probability Model (LPM) and Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) regression techniques to examine the determinants of zakat payment behaviour. Findings reveal that social capital significantly increases both the likelihood of choosing zakat institutions and the portion of zakat paid through them. In contrast, religiosity shows a weaker direct effect on institutional zakat payment. Taken together, these results highlight the pivotal role of social networks and trust in enhancing institutional zakat collection. Therefore, the study advocates for a strategic reform of fiqh zakat practices that integrate social capital strategies to reinforce religiosity and improve zakat compliance through formal channels.

Abstract

There is a growing acknowledgment of Halal tourism as a strategic sector for economic development in Muslim-majority countries. This research investigates how Islamic destination features, including worship amenities, halal compliance, and overall Islamic values, influence travelers’ choices to halal destinations in Indonesia, moderated by tourism image. Using a quantitative method, this study analyzed data with structural equation modeling in SmartPLS 3, based on responses from 1,000 tourists visiting Indonesia’s ten leading halal destinations. The results indicate that all three Islamic attributes significantly influence the positions of a tourist attraction, while only worship facilities directly affect visiting decisions. Destination image itself plays a mediating role in shaping tourist behavior. These results underline the importance of integrating Islamic values into tourism development strategies to enhance destination competitiveness. The study provides practical insights for government officials, including the standardization of halal certification in tourism facilities, the provision of adequate worship infrastructures at leading destinations, and the integration of halal tourism into national and digital marketing strategies. These analytical procedures enhance Indonesia’s role as a worldwide frontrunner in halal tourism. The results further emphasize halal tourism’s capacity to drive continuous local economic growth grounded in cultural and religious values.

Abstract

This study examines the use of Pay Later systems offered by digital marketplaces, such as Gopay and Shopee, as a method for fulfilling zakat fitrah obligations. While financial technology has enhanced accessibility and efficiency in zakat management, its integration with credit-based instruments raises significant Shariah concerns. This study is contextualized from a qualitative approach that combines normative legal analysis with digital ethnography, exploring whether deferred payment models align with Islamic jurisprudence and the objectives of Shariah. We highlight findings that although Pay Later provides convenience for zakat payers, it introduces elements of debt that risk contradicting the principle of immediacy in zakat fitrah. Nonetheless, under certain circumstances, such as compliance with DSN-MUI regulations and avoidance of riba, Pay Later may be considered permissible as a means of fee. This paper contributes to the growing discourse on Islamic fintech by clarifying the legal and ethical boundaries of credit-based worship payments and offers practical recommendations for zakat institutions to collaborate with fintech providers while safeguarding the integrity of religious obligations.

Abstract

This study analyzes the applicability of the Kuznets curve hypothesis within the specific context of Islamic finance development in Indonesia and its resultant implications for income inequality. The novelty of this research lies in integrating Islamic finance, specifically from the banking sector, with Islamic social finance instruments, namely zakat, infaq, and sadaqah. Crucially, it interrogates whether the Kuznets curve hypothesis remains pertinent within this expanded framework. Utilizing secondary panel data encompassing 25 Indonesian provinces over the 2019–2020 period, the study employs panel data regression techniques, specifically common effect, fixed effect, and random effect models, which were systematically selected via the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange multiplier tests. The empirical findings demonstrate unequivocally that the development of Islamic finance, spanning both the financial and social sectors, significantly influences income inequality. This substantiates the Kuznets curve hypothesis: inequality initially escalates but subsequently diminishes as development matures. Furthermore, the results underscore the role of the Human Development Index (HDI) and the prevalence of mosques in mitigating inequality, while population density exhibits a positive association with inequality. This study conclusively argues that strengthening financial inclusion and professionalizing the management of Islamic social finance constitute strategic approaches for mitigating income inequality in Indonesia.

Abstract

Adam Smith as the founder of modern economics laid the basic foundation for economic development through the capitalist system in which capital factor used as a measuring tool for economic success. One opinion of Adam Smith "the theory of invivisble hand" in economic activity every individual has the full authority of his property and free use of economic resources in ways that he likes, disregarding the interests of the general public. This shows that capitalism has the right to have a peribadi an unlimited of the means of production, which is the driving force personal profit. Islam is essentially bringing the teachings to human life that comes the Koran and Hadith. Economic activity in the view of Islam is the guidance of life, in addition it is also a suggestion that has a dimension of worship. Wealth (material wealth) is trustworthy, thus the mandate that God bestowed it must be used together, not to suck other people or enslave other people. Islam allows every person to own property in person, but as it also enjoins on his property was to be used collectively (together), alms or spend a portion of such property in Allah. Economic activity in the view of Islam is not only material but more than that - "material plus" -. Islam has always stressed that every person living in a lawful manner. Islam also does not prohibit untukmelakukan economic activity, but Islam provides guidance and guidance in the form of Islamic values.
