Abstract

This study examines the practice of buying and selling hair clippings conducted at Lidya Salon, Talang Babat Subdistrict, from the perspective of Islamic law. Emerging within the expanding beauty industry, the commodification of human hair for extensions raises legal and ethical questions under fiqh al-mu‛āmalāt. The primary objective is to analyze the transactional mechanisms and assess their conformity with Islamic commercial principles. Employing a qualitative single-case study design, the research combines in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis with a review of contemporary fiqh literature and relevant fatwas. Findings indicate that transactions are carried out without written contracts or explicit consent from clients, and that the object traded human hair clippings poses legal concerns because it originates from the human body. From an Islamic-law perspective, the practice can be characterized as a doubtful transaction (al-mu‛āmalāt al-mashbūhah) due to elements of uncertainty and unmet requirements for a permissible object of sale. The study contributes to contemporary fiqh discourse by highlighting the need for improved Islamic-legal literacy among small beauty-business actors and for clearer religious guidance regarding the commercial use of human-derived materials in the beauty sector.

Abstract

This study analyzes remuneration practices associated with funeral rites in Parit Culum 1 Village from the perspective of Islamic law. The research responds to the social reality that payments to individuals involved in funeral management have become an established local custom, yet remain underexplored within the fiqh frameworks of ijarah and ujrah. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study combines primary field data gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with a deductive analysis of relevant principles in muamalah fiqh. Findings indicate that funeral rites in the study area are organized through communal cooperation, and that remuneration, provided voluntarily in cash or in kind, is offered as an expression of appreciation for the services of funeral workers. These practices align with the key elements of ujrah under Islamic law, as they are grounded in voluntary consent, clear service provision, and the absence of coercion or commercialization of religious duty. The study contributes to fiqh muamalah scholarship by extending the application of ijarah to social-religious practices and by highlighting the legitimizing role of local custom (urf) in shaping legally acceptable, context-sensitive religious practices; it also offers an evidential basis for religious leaders and local policymakers to formulate normative guidance that reconciles sharīʿah principles with lived social realities.

Abstract

This study examines profit-sharing practices at Koperasi Insan Madani Syariah in Rantau Karya Village and evaluates their conformity with Sharia economic law. Motivated by the need for equitable Islamic economic arrangements as alternatives to interest-based mechanisms, the research aims to identify how profit-sharing is operationalized and to assess its legal-normative alignment. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving cooperative managers, members, and community leaders. Findings indicate that the cooperative implements profit-sharing primarily through mudharabah mutlaqah and syirkah al-inan arrangements, distributing residual income proportionally based on members’ capital contributions and transactional participation; transparency and annual deliberations reinforce member trust, while gaps remain in members’ technical understanding of nisbah calculations. The study contributes theoretically by explicating how distributive justice principles under Sharia manifest in micro-cooperative settings and offers practical insights for improving governance, member education, and accountability in Sharia microfinance institutions. The results provide an empirical reference for practitioners and policymakers seeking to strengthen Sharia-compliant profit-sharing mechanisms at the grassroots level.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of fish trading conducted via the mid-sea pickup system (nyepai) in Kampung Laut Subdistrict, Tanjung Jabung Timur, from the perspective of Islamic law. Nyepai is a local trading arrangement in which buyers collect fishermen’s catches at sea prior to the vessels’ return to shore. The research aims to (1) describe the operational mechanisms of nyepai transactions and (2) evaluate their conformity with core Islamic sale principles such as clarity of the object, fairness, mutual consent, and the prohibition of gharar (excessive uncertainty). Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytic approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and documentary review, and were analyzed through iterative data reduction, thematic presentation, and interpretive synthesis. Findings indicate that nyepai transactions are typically concluded verbally at sea, involve delayed physical delivery and payment, and rely heavily on interpersonal trust, factors that introduce varying degrees of transactional uncertainty. While some elements of nyepai may conflict with strict interpretations of Islamic contract principles, local mitigation practices (e.g., post-delivery inspection and compensation mechanisms) can reduce perceived unfairness and uncertainty. The study contributes empirical insights to contemporary fiqh of commercial transactions and offers a basis for developing contextually appropriate, sharia-compliant trading guidelines for coastal communities.
Retail Practice of Pertalite Fuel in Small-Scale Sales: A Perspective from Islamic Law and Presidential Regulation No. 117 of 2021 Kasri; Haeran; Alisyah Pitri

Abstract

This study examines the retail sale of Pertalite fuel in Kelurahan Kampung Singkep from the perspectives of Islamic law and Presidential Regulation No. 117 of 2021. The phenomenon arises from limited public access to official fuel stations and local economic needs that give rise to informal retailing practices. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research draws on interviews, participant observation, and documentary evidence involving retailers, consumers, and community leaders engaged in these transactions. Findings indicate that small-scale Pertalite retailing operates without formal authorization, relies on simple informal distribution mechanisms, and reflects generally low legal awareness among participants. From the standpoint of Islamic jurisprudence, such transactions may be permissible when they meet standards of fairness, transparent measurement, and mutual consent, yet they risk involving gharar (uncertainty) where ownership and distribution legitimacy are unclear. Under positive law, these practices conflict with Perpres No. 117/2021, which reserves distribution and retailing of designated fuel types to authorized entities. The study contributes to Islamic economic jurisprudence and public policy debates by highlighting the need to reconcile normative fiqh principles with pragmatic regulatory frameworks to ensure equitable, legal, and accessible fuel distribution for underserved communities.

Abstract

This study analyzes the practice of buying and selling second-hand clothing at Blok D Market, Geragai District, from the perspective of Islamic economics, focusing on the extent to which such trade conforms to muamalah principles—namely al-ʿadl (justice), ma‘lūm (clarity of the object), prohibition of gharar (uncertainty), and maslahah (public benefit). Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research draws on participant observation, in-depth interviews with vendors and buyers, and market documentation as primary data sources. Findings indicate two predominant transaction modalities: bulk “sack” purchases (sack) and retail sales; the former carries a higher risk of gharar because buyers cannot inspect goods prior to purchase, while the latter more readily satisfies clarity and justice principles by allowing buyers khiyar (choice) and inspection. Vendors mitigate uncertainty through systematic sorting, cleaning, and tiered pricing, thereby preserving market trust and ethical conduct aligned with Islamic values. The study contributes empirical evidence linking classical muamalah concepts to informal market practices and offers a foundation for context-sensitive guidance and policy interventions that enhance the ethical, equitable, and sustainable governance of second-hand clothing trade.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) in controlling and supervising the halal status of products at the local level, using KUA Mendahara (Mendahara Ilir subdistrict) as a case study. Motivated by persistent implementation challenges in Indonesia’s Halal Product Assurance system, the research aims to clarify how KUA contributes to ensuring that halal certification follows regulatory requirements and how it monitors certified products in practice. Employing a qualitative case-study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct field observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed thematically. Findings reveal four principal functions performed by KUA: disseminating information and conducting outreach on halal certification; providing technical guidance and administrative assistance to MSMEs during the certification process; coordinating cross-institutional activities with BPJPH, MUI, and local health authorities; and carrying out post-certification monitoring through field visits and administrative checks. The study demonstrates that KUA operates as a critical institutional intermediary between national policy and local practice. Theoretically, the research extends institutional perspectives to religious local institutions in halal governance; practically, it offers evidence-based recommendations to strengthen KUA capacity and interagency collaboration to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of Indonesia’s halal assurance system.

Abstract

The proliferation of financial technology (fintech) has reshaped global and national financial systems, including practices within Muslim households in Indonesia. Beyond enabling efficient transactions, fintech holds potential to advance the objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, particularly in ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of wealth). This study examines how fintech is employed as a medium for family financial transactions and assesses its alignment with Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah principles. Adopting a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using triangulation techniques. Findings indicate that Muslim families utilize fintech for bill payments, budgeting, and sharia-compliant investments, with varying levels of digital literacy. Fintech demonstrably enhances convenience, security, and efficiency, although challenges persist, including data security risks, limited literacy, and uncertainties regarding Sharia regulatory oversight. The study contributes theoretically by shifting Islamic fintech discourse to the micro-level of households and offers practical implications for designing fintech products that better serve Muslim family needs while supporting clear, sharia-compliant regulatory frameworks.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of financial technology in Indonesia has reshaped everyday transaction patterns, notably through digital wallets and paylater services offered by e-commerce platforms such as Shopee. While these services deliver convenience, efficiency, and broader accessibility, questions remain regarding their alignment with the principles of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, particularly the protection of wealth and the prevention of consumer harm. This study analyzes the transaction mechanics of ShopeePay and evaluates their conformity with maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and validated via triangulation. Findings indicate that ShopeePay, as an electronic payment instrument, is perceived as efficient, secure, and supportive of financial inclusion; however, the Shopee PayLater feature introduces ethical concerns due to potential interest-like late fees and heightened risks of consumptive behavior. The study advances the Islamic fintech literature by underscoring the need to integrate maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah into assessments of digital financial services and offers practical implications for regulators and industry practitioners to design Sharia-compliant contractual models and strengthen ethics-driven digital financial literacy.

Abstract

The increasing demand for animal protein in Indonesia has driven the growth of the broiler chicken farming sector, including in Pematang Rahim Village, Mendahara Ulu, which exhibits diverse partnership dynamics between farmers and business partners. This study aims to identify the partnership models adopted by broiler chicken farmers in the region and evaluate their alignment with Islamic economic principles. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study strategy, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving farmers partnered with both corporate entities and individual brokers. The findings reveal that formal structures, written contracts, provision of production inputs, and technical guidance characterize corporate partnerships. In contrast, individual partnerships are informal, flexible, and lack oversight and equitable risk-sharing mechanisms. From an Islamic economic perspective, corporate partnerships resemble syirkah principles, while individual partnerships reflect mudharabah practices with notable deviations from fairness and transparency. This study contributes conceptually to the development of partnership models based on maqashid sharia, emphasizing justice, sustainability, and public welfare. The implications of these findings are relevant for policymakers, practitioners, and Islamic financial institutions in designing livestock partnerships that are locally adaptive and aligned with Islamic values.
