Vol. 5 No. 2 (2025)

We are pleased to announce the publication of Volume 5, Number 2 (2025) of the INVEST Journal of Sharia & Economic Law, presenting a collection of scholarly articles that critically engage with contemporary issues at the intersection of Islamic law, economics, and socio-legal reform.

This issue addresses a wide range of timely themes, including the application of the maqāṣid al-sharīʿa framework to reform Indonesia’s approach to the transfer of sentenced persons, models of productive zakat empowerment for urban mustahiq, and behavioral determinants influencing Sharia e-commerce adoption among Generation Z Muslims. It also features a cultural-accounting analysis of Gorontalo pilgrims’ financial practices during travel to Mecca, a human-rights-based examination of student finance and the prohibition of interest-based loans within the United Kingdom’s legal framework, a conceptual reconstruction of copyright as al-ḥuqūq al-māliyah in Islamic law, and a maqāṣid-oriented analysis of contemporary crime dynamics in Nigeria.

The contributions in this issue originate from a diverse range of academic institutions across Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Nigeria, reflecting the journal’s expanding international scope. Collectively, these articles demonstrate the INVEST Journal of Sharia & Economic Law’s commitment to fostering rigorous, globally engaged scholarship on Sharia, ethics, law, and socio-economic transformation.
