Applying Ushul Fiqh Principles to Enhance Sharia Compliance in Digital Gold Trading in Indonesia

Deni Permana, Mustofa Hasan, Dudang Gojali

Abstract


PurposeThis study addresses the research gap in the extant literature on ushul fiqh applications within sharia-compliant financial products by delineating a contextual framework for digital gold trading, integrating classical principles of Islamic jurisprudence with contemporary empirical evidence from consumer complaint datasets, thereby appraising the efficacy of kaidah ushul fiqh in resolving sharia compliance imperatives and attenuating gharar risks in Indonesia's digital gold ecosystem, while proffering actionable guidelines to augment transparency, stakeholder confidence, and long-term viability in Islamic financial markets.

Methodology - This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. The data utilized are secondary data, including journal articles, books, fatwa DSN-MUI, OJK reports, Bappebti data, and other relevant documents published between 2015 and 2025.

Findings - The results of this study demonstrate that kaidah ushul fiqh, such as sadd al-dzari’ah, qiyas, and rahn, can serve as a robust framework to ensure sharia compliance in digital gold trading. These insights can offer recommendations for DSN-MUI and OJK to develop sharia-compliant standards for digital gold trading transactions while also fostering consumer confidence.

Implication - The study implies that integrating ushul fiqh principle into the regulatory and operational design of digital gold trading can strengthen sharia compliance, reduce transactional gharar, and enhance consumer trust in Indonesia’s Islamic financial ecosystem.
