Bahasa Indonesia Kajian Tafsir QS. Al-Mutaffifin Ayat 1–3 tentang Kecurangan dalam Transaksi Ekonomi Digital

Abstract

The development of the digital economy facilitates buying and selling activities, but it also creates opportunities for various forms of fraud, such as inaccurate product descriptions, manipulation of product weight or quantity, misleading prices, and the concealment of important information from consumers. This study aims to examine the interpretation of QS. Al-Mutaffifin verses 1–3 and analyze their relevance to fraud in digital economic transactions. This research uses a library research method with a qualitative approach through textual analysis and a review of literature on Islamic business ethics and electronic commerce. The findings show that QS. Al-Mutaffifin verses 1–3 contain a stern warning against al-muṭaffifīn, namely those who reduce the rights of others in measures and weights. Classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentators explain that such fraud is not limited to physically reducing measures or weights, but also includes all forms of injustice and deprivation of rights in economic transactions. In the digital economy, these principles are relevant to criticizing product information manipulation, manipulation of product quantity or quality, and misleading promotional practices. Therefore, digital economic actors must uphold honesty, transparency, justice, and trustworthiness so that online transactions comply with Islamic economic principles and protect the rights of both sellers and buyers.
