Integration of Collaborative Communication in the Education of Islamic Economic Law from the Perspective of Hadith and Maqāṣid Al-Sharīʿah

Abstract

The limited public understanding of Islamic economic jurisprudence despite the rapid expansion of the Islamic economic system has contributed to persistent misconceptions in contemporary muʿāmalāt. This study aims to analyze the integration of collaborative communication into Islamic economic law education from the perspectives of Prophetic ḥadīth and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah according to al-Shāṭibī, and to formulate its implications for participatory Islamic economic education. This qualitative library research analyzes classical ḥadīth collections, scholarly commentaries, and relevant peer-reviewed literature using a thematic ḥadīth approach and descriptive-analytical reasoning. The analysis focuses on Prophetic traditions concerning transactional disclosure, dialogical clarification, dispute resolution, and the prohibition of deception, and interprets their communicative values through Collaborative Communication Theory and al-Shāṭibī’s maqāṣid framework. The findings reveal four interconnected principles of collaborative communication in Islamic economic education: shared understanding, information transparency, trust-building, and mutual responsibility. These principles are reflected in the Prophet’s ﷺ guidance concerning protection from transactional deception, dialogical clarification of economic rulings, peaceful resolution of sales disputes, and disclosure of defects in goods. From the maqāṣid perspective, their integration supports ḥifẓ al-dīn through religious understanding, ḥifẓ al-ʿaql through critical economic literacy, and ḥifẓ al-māl through the prevention of harmful and non-compliant practices. The study contributes a normative-educational model linking Prophetic communication values with collaborative learning and maqāṣid-oriented outcomes. It recommends strengthening dialogical, transparent, and multi-stakeholder approaches in Islamic economic education and further empirical research to assess their implementation
