Abstract

  Background: Cart abandonment occurs when online shoppers add items to their virtual carts but leave the website or app before completing the purchase. This issue is particularly prevalent in the apparel industry, which has a cart abandonment rate of 77%, higher than the global average of 69.99%. This high rate poses a significant challenge to maximizing sales and customer retention, despite the industry's rapid growth. Objectives: This study aims to explore the factors contributing to the high rate of cart abandonment in the online apparel industry, with a specific focus on understanding the role of perceived decision difficulty in this phenomenon. Novelty: While previous research has addressed various aspects of online shopping behavior, this study uniquely examines how perceived decision difficulty, influenced by product attributes, consumer knowledge, maximization behavior, and physical intangibility, contributes to cart abandonment in the apparel sector. Research Methodology / Design: This quantitative study surveyed over 200 recent online apparel buyers using a purposive sampling approach. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore relationships among variables. Findings: The study found that while product attributes and consumer knowledge enhance decision-making, they do not significantly reduce perceived decision difficulty due to the complexity and cognitive effort required. Maximization behavior increases choice conflicts but does not directly impact decision difficulty. Physical intangibility, or the inability to examine apparel in person, exacerbates decision difficulty and increases uncertainty. High perceived decision difficulty, driven by choice conflicts and physical intangibility, is a significant factor contributing to cart abandonment. Implication: Enhancing product information and introducing decision support tools like virtual fitting rooms could reduce decision difficulty and lower cart abandonment rates.

Abstract

Background: The Islamic banking sector in Indonesia has seen rapid growth. To support this expansion, performance measurement methods adhering to Shariah principles are essential.Objectives: This study evaluates the performance of Islamic Commercial Banks (ICBs) in Indonesia using the Maqashid Syariah Index (MSI) and the Islamicity Performance Index (IPI).Novelty: Unlike previous studies, this research addresses gaps in prior findings and reexamines the alignment of Islamic banking practices with Shariah principles.Research Methodology / Design: A purposive sampling technique was employed to select 10 ICBs. The study adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data from financial reports and applies descriptive analysis to assess bank performance.Findings: The results reveal that many ICBs in Indonesia do not fully align with MSI or IPI metrics, indicating inconsistencies in achieving Shariah objectives.Implication: Further research with expanded sample sizes and refined methodologies is essential. Islamic banks must enhance the transparency and comprehensiveness of financial disclosures to better reflect Shariah compliance. Additionally, theoretical advancements are required to bridge gaps in current performance measurement frameworks.

Abstract

The growing global Muslim population and the increasing demand for halal products have also spurred interest in Islamic financial services, where the interplay between sacred and profane influences consumer choices. However, the market share of Islamic banking in Malaysia is still overshadowed by conventional banking, with only 33.4% of total deposits in 2018 attributed to Islamic banks. This indicates a significant challenge in attracting customers, where psychological factors play crucial roles in influencing behavioral intentions to adopt Islamic banking services. The study attempts to discover and provide an understanding on the ‘determinants factors on intention to adopt Islamic financial products and services with the integration of Social Cognitive Theory, Islamic financial literacy and the financial behavior of the consumer in Malaysia’. Partial Least Square PLS-SEM technique is used to analyze the 363 data in order to provide statistical result from respondents in the Klang Valley. The results demonstrate that all variables tested in this study have a strong relationship and identified as the determinants of intention to adopt Islamic financial products and services. The result from this study also provides practical implication for Islamic finance institutions to produce and market their Islamic financial products in the right and targeted market group.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the influence of Islamic financial literacy, technology, and investment knowledge on investment decisions among the millennial generation in Jambi City. Novelty: In this study, investment decisions serve as the dependent variable, while Islamic financial literacy, technology, and investment knowledge are the independent variables. The research focuses on the millennial generation residing in Jambi City.Research Methodology / Design: This quantitative study employs a population of 151,855 millennial residents in Jambi City. A probability sampling technique was utilized to select 100 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale measurement. Analytical methods included validity and reliability tests, R-squared analysis, and hypothesis testing via bootstrapping using Smart PLS 4.0 software. Findings: The findings indicate that Sharia financial literacy exerts a positive yet statistically insignificant influence on investment decisions, whereas technology and investment knowledge demonstrate a positive and statistically significant impact on investment decisions. Implication: Future studies are encouraged to incorporate additional variables to identify other factors influencing investment decisions.

Abstract

Background: The global financial system faces escalating challenges in reconciling ethical wealth distribution with sustainable development, particularly within Islamic economies. Despite the shared emphasis of Maqasid al-Shariah (objectives of Islamic law) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on justice, equity, and environmental stewardship, their integration remains fragmented. Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) often prioritize Shariah compliance over proactive contributions to sustainability, while regulatory fragmentation and gender-environment gaps hinder systemic progress. Objectives: This study aims to: (1) analyze the structural alignment between Maqasid al-Shariah and SDGs in Islamic financial planning, (2) identify systemic barriers to their integration, and (3) propose actionable strategies to optimize Islamic finance’s role in ethical wealth distribution. Novelty: The research fills critical gaps in Islamic academic discourse by: Introducing the Maqasid-SDG Integration Theory, which recontextualizes classical Islamic jurisprudence within modern sustainability frameworks. Developing a Maqasid-SDG Index to evaluate financial products’ socio environmental impact, addressing the absence of standardized metrics. Resolving debates on adaptive jurisprudence (e.g., redefining daruriyyat to include climate action) and gender inclusivity in Islamic finance. Research Methodology / Design: A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed, combining Qualitative Analysis: Thematic coding of classical texts (e.g., al-Shatibi’s Al-Muwafaqat), 45 semi-structured interviews with Shariah scholars and policymakers, and case studies of Malaysia and Indonesia. Quantitative Analysis: PLS-SEM modeling of secondary data from 30 IFIs (2015–2023) and regression analysis of SDG progress metrics (e.g., poverty rates, CO2 emissions). Comparative Jurisprudence: Cross-referencing Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali interpretations of wealth distribution ethics. Findings: SDG Alignment: Shariah-compliant mechanisms like Zakat and green Sukuk reduced povertyby 12.7% and emissions by 2.3 million metric tons annually, respectively (β = 0.42, p < 0.01). Institutional Barriers: Regulatory fragmentation limited SDG-aligned financing to 28% in GCC countries versus 64% in Malaysia. Gender disparities persisted, with only 12% of Islamic banks offering women centric products. Theoretical Advancements: The Maqasid-SDG Index revealed a 63% explanatory power (R² = 0.63) for ethical outcomes, while juristic reinterpretations of maslaha (public interest) enabled blockchain-based Sukuk innovations. Implication: Theoretical: The study bridges Islamic ethics with sustainability science, offering a dynamic framework for adaptive jurisprudence. Practical: Policymakers should prioritize (1) cross-border regulatory harmonization, (2) financial literacy campaigns, and (3) gender-environment nexus products (e.g., Takaful for women-led green enterprises). Policy: Centralized Shariah governance, as seen in Malaysia’s Value-Based Intermediation framework, enhances SDG alignment but requires balancing with grassroots inclusivity (r= -0.58).

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted society’s economy. Various industry sectors stopped operating, which resulted in widespread layoffs. As a result, society tends to make online financial transactions, particularly with forex and gold. Objectives: This study examines Islamic law's perspective on online forex and gold futures trading, which is increasingly popular among the public. Novelty: Academic literature specifically conducting a juridical deconstruction (takyif fiqh) of the 'rolling contracts' offered in Indonesia and identifying them as Contracts for Difference (CFDs) remains scarce. A 2021 study noted that "no legal and jurisprudential study has been conducted over this new trade", and a 2024 thesis confirmed a legal vacuum in Indonesia as existing fatwas are considered "not relevant". This research fills this critical gap by providing a precise analysis of these specific derivative instruments, moving beyond the generalized discussions prevalent in current literature. Research Methodology/ Design: The research method used is qualitative analysis with a normative juridical approach. It examines primary Islamic law sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, scholars' opinions, and literature related to futures trading. Findings: The study results show that online gold futures trading contains several fundamental problems from a Sharia perspective. The first is the ambiguity of the transaction object (gharar). Second, the margin trading and short-selling mechanism allows transactions without full ownership of the commodity. Third, the zero-sum system contradicts the principle of justice in Islamic law. Fourth, there is an element of usury through swap fees when the trading position passes midnight. Fifth, the magnitude of the element of speculation (maysir) in this activity. It can be concluded that the practice of trading gold futures online in its current form does not meet sharia principles. Implication: This study's results are expected to be a reference for policymakers and stakeholders, helping them better socialize and control both instruments.
