Etika Kerja Sama Usaha Perspektif Hadis Nabi SAW: Studi Kualitatif terhadap Praktik Bagi Hasil dalam Ekonomi Syariah Kontemporer

Abstract

This study aims to analyze business cooperation ethics from the perspective of the Prophet Muhammad’s Hadith and its implementation in profit-sharing practices within contemporary Islamic economics. The research is motivated by academic concerns regarding the formalistic tendency in Islamic economic practices, where profit-sharing contracts are often applied in a legalistic manner without sufficient internalization of prophetic ethical values. This study employs a qualitative interpretative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with profit-sharing business actors, Islamic economic institution managers, and document analysis of contracts and relevant thematic hadiths. The findings reveal that ethical values emphasized in the Prophet’s hadiths, including trustworthiness, honesty, justice, and shared responsibility, are normatively understood by business actors; however, their practical implementation faces structural and contextual challenges. Business risk, unequal bargaining positions, and weak institutional ethical governance contribute significantly to the gap between normative ideals and actual practices. This study underscores the importance of strengthening the internalization of hadith-based ethics in contract design and business cooperation practices, ensuring that Islamic economics is not only legally compliant but also socially just and sustainable.
