The Islamic Law or “Sharia” is defined as the set of laws and principles that establishes the way Muslims should live or the path they must follow. This law also emphasizes moral and ethical values in all dealings of life and covers many aspects including economics, politics, business, banking, family and social issues.
The Electronic Commerce is a matter that is also analyzed in the frame of this set of rules generating a controversial debate in turn of its legality and accomplishment of Islamic principles in conducting businesses. This new process of selling and buying goods electronically has to be examine taking into account the rights of privacy, consumer data protection, rights to know the detailed of the products and other aspects. In this order of ideas, Muslims catalogue E-commerce as a short selling business with absence of concrete delivery, uncertainty and with juridical authentication´s problems.
I consider that E-Commerce should be worldwide accepted as a new way of technology that gives the benefit of facilitating economic transactions between producers and consumers. Despite of the contradictions that could emerge in this affair, E-Commerce should be taken as a tool and not as a threat against the Islamic Law. The principles that composed this ruling could be more flexible taking into account that it is very difficult to control a strict fulfillment of all requirements. The Law can require a minimum of conditions such as clarity and continuity in the communication, clearly defined products and conformity between the contracting parties.

I agree with her. It is difficult to change the culture and the tradition of a nation, in this case, the Islamic community. But is important to teach those people how the e-commerce acts around the world and that it won´t affect its customs. Also, it is necessary for them to use this kind of tool because it is spreading so fast in every country and the Islamic society can not be out of that, otherwise they would be isolated and delayed in terms of technology and trade inside the globalized world.
ResponderEliminarIn some cases the Islamic religion is extremist and do not accept a situation or action. The Muslims people have very strong religion fervor and follow it in a strict way. For this reason when an issue that involves in any way their religion becomes sort of a problem or at least a discussion subject.
ResponderEliminarE-commerce has become more and more popular and more important for doing business in a globalized world for that reason I support what the blog said, it should be “accepted as a new way of technology that gives the benefit of facilitating economic transactions between producers and consumers.” That is what the Muslims should do, accept and adapt to the “new world,” but of course under the Islamic principles. E-commerce is an excellent tool to carry out international business and Islam should accept it under its rules.
