Abstract

IntroductionMicro, Small, and Medium Enterprises play a critical role in economic development, employment generation, and inclusive growth, particularly in developing countries. Despite their importance, many MSMEs face persistent barriers in accessing formal financial services, which limits their ability to sustain and scale their businesses. The emergence of Islamic financial technology offers an alternative pathway by providing digital, sharia-compliant financial services that can enhance financial inclusion and support sustainable business practices.ObjectivesThis study aims to analyze the role of Islamic fintech in improving financial inclusion and its impact on MSME sustainability. It also examines the mediating role of financial inclusion in the relationship between Islamic fintech and sustainable MSME performance within a digital business environment.MethodThe study employs a mixed-method approach using a sequential exploratory design. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with MSME stakeholders in Region III Cirebon, Indonesia, while quantitative data were obtained from 96 MSMEs using structured questionnaires. The analysis combines qualitative thematic interpretation with quantitative modeling using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares to test the proposed relationships among variables.ResultsThe findings indicate that Islamic fintech has a positive and significant effect on financial inclusion, while financial inclusion significantly enhances MSME sustainability. The results also confirm that financial inclusion mediates the relationship between Islamic fintech and MSME sustainability, suggesting that the impact of Islamic fintech operates indirectly through improved access to financial services. Qualitative findings further reveal that sustainable MSME models emphasize digital transformation, institutional support, and integration of economic and social practices.ImplicationsThe study highlights the importance of strengthening Islamic fintech ecosystems to improve financial access and support MSME sustainability. It also underscores the need for policies that promote financial literacy, digital readiness, and regulatory support to maximize the benefits of fintech adoption.Originality/NoveltyThis research contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the mediating role of financial inclusion in the relationship between Islamic fintech and MSME sustainability. It offers a comprehensive perspective by integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches within the context of a developing economy.

Abstract

IntroductionThe rapid expansion of cryptocurrency has generated significant debate within Islamic economic discourse. Bitcoin, as the first decentralized digital currency, offers technological advantages such as transparency, efficiency, and global accessibility. However, it also raises concerns regarding price volatility, speculative trading behavior, and the absence of intrinsic value. These issues have prompted Islamic scholars and regulatory institutions to evaluate cryptocurrency from the perspective of Islamic law and financial ethics. In Indonesia, the Indonesian Ulema Council issued a religious ruling declaring Bitcoin impermissible due to elements of uncertainty, speculation, and potential economic harm. This ruling has stimulated ongoing discussion about the compatibility of cryptocurrency innovation with Islamic economic principles.ObjectivesThis study aims to critically analyze the religious ruling on Bitcoin issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council by examining its legal reasoning, its relationship with Islamic economic principles, and its implications for the governance of digital financial innovation. The research also seeks to explore whether cryptocurrency can be accommodated within an Islamic economic framework under certain regulatory and ethical conditions.MethodThe study employs a qualitative research design using a transdisciplinary analytical approach that integrates perspectives from Islamic jurisprudence, Islamic economics, financial regulation, and digital financial technology. Data were collected through documentation of religious rulings, regulatory policies, and scholarly literature related to cryptocurrency and Islamic finance. The data were analyzed through thematic and comparative analysis to identify the legal reasoning underlying the prohibition of Bitcoin and to evaluate alternative scholarly interpretations regarding the status of digital assets in Islamic economics.ResultsThe findings indicate that the prohibition of Bitcoin is primarily based on concerns about excessive uncertainty, speculative trading behavior, and potential economic harm associated with cryptocurrency markets. Nevertheless, the analysis also reveals that cryptocurrency may be considered permissible when these elements are mitigated through transparent governance, regulatory oversight, and the development of asset-backed digital financial instruments.ImplicationsThe study highlights the importance of developing regulatory and institutional frameworks that reconcile financial innovation with Islamic ethical principles. Such frameworks can provide clearer guidance for Muslim investors while supporting responsible digital financial development.Originality or NoveltyThis research contributes to the growing literature on cryptocurrency in Islamic economics by offering a critical analysis of religious rulings within the broader context of digital financial transformation and regulatory governance.

Abstract

IntroductionThe rapid expansion of capital market participation among students in emerging economies has increased the importance of understanding the determinants of investment decision-making. Despite growing access to financial information, many student investors still exhibit varying levels of financial literacy, risk perception, and goal orientation. Previous studies suggest that these factors influence investment behavior, yet their combined effects remain insufficiently explored, particularly within student populations and in relation to ethical considerations in Islamic finance.ObjectivesThis study aims to examine the influence of risk perception, educational information, and financial goals on investment decisions among student investors. It seeks to identify which factors significantly shape decision-making behavior and to provide a more comprehensive understanding of investment behavior by integrating cognitive and motivational variables within a unified framework.MethodThe study employs a quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire distributed to 35 members of a capital market study group at a state polytechnic. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling to assess both measurement validity and structural relationships among variables. This method enables the evaluation of complex relationships within a relatively small sample size.ResultsThe findings indicate that educational information and financial goals have a positive and statistically significant influence on investment decisions, while risk perception does not show a significant effect. The model explains a substantial proportion of variance in investment decisions, highlighting the dominant role of knowledge and goal orientation in shaping behavior among student investors.ImplicationsThese results suggest that improving financial literacy and promoting goal-based financial planning are essential for enhancing investment decision quality. The findings also indicate that risk perception may function as a secondary or conditional factor rather than a primary determinant, particularly among less experienced investors.Originality/NoveltyThis study contributes to the literature by integrating risk perception, educational information, and financial goals within a single empirical model and by incorporating an Islamic finance perspective to enrich the interpretation of investment behavior.

Abstract

IntroductionHalal consumption has become an essential aspect of consumer behavior in Muslim-majority societies, reflecting not only religious compliance but also ethical and quality considerations. While prior studies have emphasized religiosity and awareness as key drivers, limited research has examined how household-level factors, particularly parental education and financial behavior, shape halal food consumption. In urban contexts such as Tanjung Pinang City, understanding these determinants is critical due to the interaction between socio-economic conditions and daily consumption practices.ObjectivesThis study aims to analyze the influence of parental education, household savings, and household expenditure on halal food consumption behavior. It also seeks to explore how educational and financial factors jointly shape household decision-making in the context of halal consumption.MethodThe study employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected from 100 household decision-makers in Tanjung Pinang City. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires using a Likert scale and complemented by interviews. The analysis applies multiple linear regression using the Ordinary Least Squares method to examine the relationships between the independent variables—parental education, savings, and expenditure—and halal food consumption behavior.ResultsThe findings indicate that parental education has a positive and significant effect on halal consumption behavior, suggesting that higher education enhances awareness and adherence to halal principles. Household expenditure also shows a positive relationship, indicating that greater purchasing power facilitates access to halal-certified products. In contrast, household savings exhibit a negative effect, implying that financial caution may limit spending on halal goods. Collectively, these variables explain a substantial proportion of variation in halal consumption behavior.ImplicationsThe results highlight the importance of integrating educational and economic dimensions in promoting halal consumption. Enhancing halal literacy and improving access to affordable halal products are essential for strengthening household compliance with halal principles.Originality/NoveltyThis study contributes to the literature by providing an integrated analysis of parental education and household financial behavior as determinants of halal consumption in a regional urban context, offering new insights into the socio-economic dynamics of Islamic consumer behavior.
