Focus and Scope

Jurnal Hukum Ekonomi Syariah (JHES) publishes scholarly articles in the field of Islamic Economic Law, with emphasis on the study of Islamic law, positive law, regulation, policy, and legal practices related to economic and financial activities.

The journal welcomes manuscripts that examine contemporary issues in Islamic economic law through normative, empirical, socio-legal, comparative, or interdisciplinary approaches. All submissions must clearly show their relevance to sharia economic law, either through legal analysis, fiqh muamalah, regulation, fatwa, institutional practice, or dispute resolution.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:

  1. Islamic Economic Law and Fiqh Muamalah
    Studies on contracts, transactions, Islamic business ethics, halal-haram principles in economic activities, and contemporary applications of fiqh muamalah.
  2. Islamic Banking and Financial Law
    Legal and regulatory studies on Islamic banking, Islamic financial institutions, sukuk, Islamic capital markets, takaful, sharia fintech, and sharia compliance.
  3. Zakat, Waqf, and Islamic Social Finance Law
    Studies on the legal framework, governance, management, accountability, digitalization, and impact of zakat, infaq, sadaqah, waqf, and other Islamic social finance instruments.
  4. Halal Industry and Consumer Protection
    Legal studies on halal certification, halal product assurance, halal supply chains, Muslim consumer protection, and business responsibility in halal industries.
  5. Fatwa, Regulation, and Public Policy in Islamic Economics
    Analysis of DSN-MUI fatwas, national regulations, court decisions, public policy, and their implementation in Islamic economic practices.
  6. Digital Economy and Contemporary Muamalah
    Studies on e-commerce, digital transactions, marketplace practices, electronic contracts, QRIS, paylater, crowdfunding, blockchain, digital assets, and other innovations from the perspective of Islamic economic law.
  7. Dispute Resolution in Islamic Economic Law
    Studies on sharia arbitration, religious court decisions, mediation, online dispute resolution, and settlement of Islamic economic disputes.

Manuscripts that discuss Islamic economics, business, finance, or social issues without a clear legal or sharia economic law perspective are outside the journal’s scope. Purely theological, educational, or general economic studies will not be considered unless they have a strong and explicit connection to Islamic economic law.
