KASUS KORUPSI MINYAKITA: PELANGGARAN PRINSIP AMANAH DAN TRANSPARANSI DALAM BISNIS ISLAM

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Islamic business ethics particularly the principles of amanah (trustworthiness) and transparency and the corruption case involving the distribution of subsidized cooking oil “Minyakita” in Indonesia. A qualitative method based on literature review was employed, using secondary sources such as journals, government regulations, Islamic legal literature, and media reports. The findings reveal that violations of Islamic ethical principles such as dishonesty and abuse of power led to economic injustice, loss of public trust, and harm to low-income communities. Weak oversight and the absence of hisbah (Islamic supervisory mechanisms) worsened the issue. This research implies that Islamic ethical values should be integrated into public policy and business governance, emphasizing the need for regulatory reform and ethics education. The study contributes original insights by promoting Islamic business ethics as a normative solution to corruption in today’s economic systems.
