HUKUM TRANSAKSI JUAL BELI MELALUI E-COMMERCE MENURUT PROF. DR. WAHBAH AZ – ZUHAILI DALAM KITAB FIQIH ISLAM WA ADILLATUHU

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology has significantly transformed trading patterns, especially through digital platforms known as e-commerce. This form of transaction presents various challenges from the perspective of Islamic law, as it does not involve direct interaction between buyers and sellers. In response to these issues, this study aims to examine the legitimacy of e-commerce transactions based on the perspective of Prof. Dr. Wahbah Az-Zuhaili, as elaborated in his work Fiqh al-Isl?m wa Adillatuhu. This research employs a qualitative method with a library-based approach by analyzing relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings indicate that online buying and selling may be considered valid in Islamic law as long as they fulfill the essential pillars and conditions of sale and are free from prohibited elements such as gharar (ambiguity), riba (usury), and fraud. Wahbah Az-Zuhaili asserts that electronic media can serve as a legitimate means of contract execution, provided there is clarity and mutual agreement between the parties involved. Therefore, e-commerce transactions can be categorized as a permissible contemporary form of muamalah within the framework of Islamic legal principles. This study recommends the formulation of more adaptive fiqh-based regulations to ensure justice and security in digital transactions.
