The understanding of e-commerce in Islamic concept specifically in sell and purchase activity: an analysis among UiTM Terengganu, Dungun campus' students / Hana Sofea Zameram

People have been selling and buying goods worldwide for centuries; what distinguishes them from time to time is how they are carried out, from trading things for goods to utilising money as a payment to purchase commodities to transferring goods. However, as technology has advanced, e-commerce or online trade activities have been developed to help people with their daily lives. The decision regarding e-commerce is not in the previous fiqh books because it was very recently introduced. Modern scholars have agreed that internet trade is permitted as long as it does not contain aspects that violate syara'. This strategy is similar to face-to-face selling and generates greater revenue. In light of this, the objectives of this research are to identify the usage of e-commerce among UiTM Campus Dungun’s students, to study the understanding e-commerce in Islamic concept among UiTM Campus Dungun’s students and to suggest the solution of the issue related to e-commerce in the Islamic concept. This research uses a simple random sampling method where UiTM student Terengganu Dungun campus is randomly selected to interview. In addition, this research also employs a qualitative approach in which students are interviewed to determine their degree of comprehension of e-commerce, particularly online trade, from an Islamic perspective. According to the research, the study's data was evaluated and gathered, and most respondents understood internet trading from an Islamic perspective. It is believed that the findings of this study would help all parties safeguard Muslims from becoming involved in illicit or prohibited commercial activities in Islam. It is also hoped that this research would assist future academics in solving the challenge of research resource restrictions associated with online trading.
