Review

The paper addresses a highly contemporary and relevant issue at the intersection of Islamic finance, e-commerce, and digital platforms. The title, "Islamic Legal Perspective On Business With An Online Deposit Service System In Social Media," clearly indicates the focus on the permissibility of "entrusted services" (likely referring to intermediary services, such as *wakalah bi ujrah*, or a form of custodianship, *wadī'ah*) within Islamic law, specifically when conducted via social media. This topic is timely, given the proliferation of online business models and the increasing need for scholarly guidance on their compliance with Sharia principles. The core problem identified, the Islamic legal perspective on such online entrusted service systems, is well-defined and sets a clear objective for the research. The research employs a qualitative approach, relying on a literature review of books, journals, and sharia economic websites. This method is appropriate for establishing a foundational understanding of Islamic legal principles relevant to the subject. The abstract's key findings conclude that entrusted services are fundamentally permitted in Islamic law, provided they fulfill the necessary "pillars and conditions." It further clarifies that such online services do not constitute selling others' property and notes that agreements between the service provider and the seller are typically oral. While the reliance on existing literature provides a theoretical framework, the abstract does not elaborate on the specific methodologies for analyzing and synthesizing these diverse sources, which could enhance the robustness of its conclusions. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on Islamic commercial law in the digital age by affirming the permissibility of online entrusted services under specific conditions. However, to further strengthen its impact, future iterations or related research could benefit from a more detailed exposition of the "pillars and conditions" mentioned, explicitly outlining how these translate and are practically verified within the unique context of social media platforms and digital transactions. Exploring case studies or contemporary fatwas related to similar online services would also enrich the analysis. Additionally, a deeper discussion on the implications of oral agreements in a digital environment, particularly concerning transparency, dispute resolution, and regulatory compliance from an Islamic legal standpoint, would provide valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers.
