2025-12-31T20:14:13+07:00

This article examines the practice of online sales contracts using the dropshipping system from the perspective of Islamic Economics. The dropshipping system has rapidly developed as a digital business model that does not require ownership of product inventory; however, in practice, it may give rise to controversy and deviations, particularly concerning the clarity of ownership of the object of the contract and the ethics of product promotion. This research is a field study employing a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with suppliers and dropshippers involved in dropshipping-based sales transactions, as well as documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis by linking field findings with concepts of Islamic economic jurisprudence (fiqh al-muʿāmalāt). The results indicate that the practice of online sales contracts using the dropshipping system is fundamentally permissible in Islamic Economics, provided that it fulfills the pillars and conditions of a valid contract and adheres to the principles of Islamic commercial transactions. However, deviations in practice were identified, including product promotion without the owner’s permission and ambiguity regarding ownership of the object of the contract, which may lead to elements of gharar (uncertainty) and injustice. These findings emphasize the importance of contractual clarity, ownership of goods, and business ethics in dropshipping practices to ensure compliance with the principles of Islamic economic jurisprudence.
