Consumer Protection In Islamic Law: Thematic Analysis Of Hadith On Khiyar in Islamic Law and Its Contextualization In The Digital Age

Muh Tabran, Muhammadiyah Amin, Abdul Rahman Sakka
Abstract: This study aims to examine the authenticity of Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 2112 regarding the right of khiyar through a comprehensive takhrij method to ensure the validity of the evidence in muamalah policy. Additionally, this… his study examines the mechanism of transmitting legal texts without editorial changes and compares the ijtihad of the four schools of jurisprudence regarding time limits to provide consumer protection solutions in the digital age. The methodology employed is normative legal research using a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach through library research. Data collection techniques involved cataloging hadiths on khiyar from the Kutubus Sittah, identifying the structure of the isnad, and analyzing key vocabulary (mufradat). Data analysis was conducted through stages of isnad criticism to assess the quality of the narrators, systematic analysis of the matn, comparative analysis across schools of thought, and the synchronization of traditional principles with modern economic realities. The research results indicate that the hadiths on khiyar possess exceptional chain of transmission quality within the Silsilah adz-Dzahab tradition, ensuring the text’s accuracy free from distortion over fourteen centuries. Regarding the time limit for khiyar syarat, differing viewpoints were identified: the Shafi’i school limits it to a maximum of three days, while the Maliki school allows a duration of up to 38 days depending on the type of object. In conclusion, the principle of khiyar remains relevant in the digital economy through the transformation of the order cancellation feature as a manifestation of khiyar majelis, as well as the return policy as an application of khiyar aib and khiyar syarat. The implications of this research emphasize that the ethical values of khiyar can serve as a foundation for regulators in refining consumer protection laws to minimize information asymmetry and ensure full consent (antaradin) in every online transaction

Cultivating a Green Organizational Culture in Islamic Schools: The Central Role of Teacher's Akhlak (Ethics) and Exemplary Modeling

Niken Ristianah, M. Munir, Juni Iswanto, Akhmat Fanani Ridho, Toha Ma'sum, Syaiful Muda'i, M. Burhanuddin Ubaidillah
Abstract: This study investigates the formation and sustenance of a Green Organizational Culture within Islamic schools, focusing on the pivotal role of teachers' akhlak (ethical character) and their exemplary behavior (qudwah hasanah)… anah) as the primary drivers. A Green Organizational Culture is defined as a shared set of values, beliefs, and practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, sustainability, and ecological responsibility as integral to the school's identity and daily operations. Employing an ethnographic case study approach, this research was conducted at two Islamic secondary schools recognized for their proactive environmental programs. Data were gathered through prolonged observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of school artifacts. Findings reveal that teacher akhlak—manifested as personal environmental mindfulness, consistency between words and actions, and moral motivation rooted in Islamic teachings—is the cornerstone for authentic cultural change. Teachers who embody green values act as transformative agents, legitimizing environmental norms, inspiring student imitation, and embedding sustainability into the hidden curriculum. The study concludes that institutional green policies are insufficient without the cultivation of akhlak-based environmental ethics among educators. It proposes a model of "Akhlak-Based Eco-Pedagogy" for teacher development.

CONSUMER PERCEPTION AND ETHICS OF AI INFLUENCERS IN BANK BCA’S DIGITAL SECURITY CAMPAIGN

Andry Mochamad Ramdan
Abstract: The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) introduced Virtual Influencers (VIs) as innovative digital marketing tools, yet their adoption in high-trust sectors like banking presented unique challenges. This study… udy analyzed the potential impact of using VIs on consumer perception and marketing ethics within the context of digital security campaigns. A qualitative-contextual approach was employed, examining Bank Central Asia’s (BCA) “Don’t Know? Kasih No!” (DKKN) campaign as a primary case study. The research explored the implications of replacing a highly credible human figure, Indro Warkop, with a VI. Drawing on Source Credibility, Parasocial Relationship, and Marketing 6.0 theories, the analysis identified an inherent trust deficit in VIs. Results indicated that while the actual DKKN campaign successfully garnered over 100 million views and reduced customer financial losses by 41%, a hypothetical AI-led version would likely trigger consumer skepticism due to a lack of experiential authenticity. Furthermore, an ethical paradox was discovered where mandated AI transparency disclosure triggered skepticism among Gen Z users. It was concluded that for high-stakes financial communication, human influencers remained superior due to their emotional relatability and the "sentience factor" required for cybersecurity advocacy. This paper recommends that banking institutions limit VIs to functional roles rather than high-stakes security literacy.

Abstract: Perkembangan media sosial telah mengubah cara individu membangun identitas digital, menjadikan perhatian publik sebagai komoditas bernilai tinggi. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara influencer, ekonomi perhatian,… hatian, digital visibility, dan budaya flexing dalam membentuk performativitas diri di platform digital. Penelitian menggunakan kajian literatur naratif dan tematik dari 53 artikel tahun 2016 hingga 2025. Proses analisis meliputi identifikasi artikel melalui basis data internasional, seleksi berbasis kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi, serta sintesis tematik untuk menyoroti tema dominan, kerangka teori, dan metode penelitian yang digunakan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan tren peningkatan publikasi sejak tahun 2020, dengan distribusi disiplin ilmu sebagai berikut: 62% komunikasi, 15% sosiologi, 13% psikologi, dan 10% ekonomi digital. Sebagian besar penelitian berasal dari konteks Barat (70%), sedangkan 30% meneliti konteks Global South. Temuan tematik menegaskan bahwa influencer berperan sebagai produsen visibilitas digital; keterlihatan tersebut memunculkan perhatian publik yang dikonversi menjadi nilai ekonomi dan sosial melalui strategi flexing. Fenomena ini menimbulkan ketegangan antara otentisitas diri, ekspektasi sosial, dan logika algoritma, membentuk ekosistem baru dalam kapitalisme digital. Kesimpulan menunjukkan bahwa digital visibility berfungsi sebagai modal sosial dan simbolik yang mempengaruhi status, peluang ekonomi, dan identitas digital individu. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pendekatan interdisipliner untuk memahami performativitas digital dan memberikan panduan praktis bagi influencer dan praktisi media sosial dalam manajemen konten, branding personal, serta pengelolaan ekspektasi audiens. Studi ini juga membuka peluang penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai konteks lintas budaya, authenticity paradox, dan dinamika algoritmik.
