Review of Islamic Economic Law on Fish Buying and Selling Practices Islamic economic law is a system of science that highlights economic problems, just like other conventional economic concepts, only in this economic system. Islamic values are not the basis and basis for every activity (Akram & Rashid, 2020. Bishara. In Islamic law, as a rule established by Shariah, there are principles that must be met if an interaction between fellow humans related to property and ownership will be carried out (Baehaqi dkk. , 2. Related to the law of buying and selling in the TPI market regarding the quality of goods is still very contrary to Islam. Many sellers still sell fish with poor quality. There are some buyers who state that they have bought fish that are not good enough. By hiding the quality of the goods or providing defective This Islamic arrangement is oriented so as not to harm each other and mutually benefit both parties. As stated in this Qur'anic verse. a a e A a acI cEE e aO aII EeI eaIIaeO aIe aANI OaIO aaEI a acI aaEIA AcEEa AaOa eCaEa eO aI aOOa eCa Ea eO aI aO e U aEaeO aN aCUcA a aaeO aEA a e a AeEIaca Oa aCEa eO aIA ea a e a e a a a a a aa a a AE aN aO Ee aA eOa Ee aeO aIA a Aa e aeO aa eO aE aI Eac eO aaOa ea eI aNn aO EA a E eacOO aOeIeO aE aOEe aC eI aOaI eI aeO aA a a en I aIA e aAcEE AA "Verily. Allah has purchased from the mu'min their selves and their wealth by giving them Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah. then they kill or are killed. (That has bee. a true promise from Allah in the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is more faithful to his promise . Allah? So rejoice in the trade you have made, and that is a great victory. " (QS At Taubah: . So when viewed in sharia, buying and selling fish at the TPI market does not fulfill the legal requirements that have been determined by shara. This can be said that buying and selling fish at the TPI market still contains elements of forbidden. Thus, everything related to buying and selling can just follow the customs or habits that have been running as long as the Nash-Nash determines it. As social beings, humans cannot escape to relate to other people in order to fulfill their lives. Meanwhile, according to Shara", buying and selling is an agreement to exchange objects or goods that have value voluntarily between the two parties, one of which receives objects and the other party accepts them in accordance with agreements or conditions that have been mutually agreed upon between the various parties involved in it and justified by Shara".

Factors inhibiting the implementation of sharia buying and selling The development of Islamic economics has experienced significant growth, although it is relatively slow compared to when it first emerged in the 1990s (Rethel. Islamic economics is mostly concentrated in the financial sector which will slow down if it is not supported by the real sector (Bhatti & Azmat, 2018. Rahmanto, 2. The challenges in developing Islamic economics will be easier to overcome if there are serious efforts from all human resources. Muslims must certainly be at the forefront of giving thoughts and unraveling existing problems. In addition, the economy in the eyes of Islam is a demand for life as well as a recommendation that has a dimension of worship that is applied in ethics and morals (Ali dkk. , 2018. Thu, 2. Islamic economics is not in the middle of these three economic systems (Kuran, 2018. Sarkar, 2. In contrast to the more individualized capitalist economic system, the socialist system that gives almost all responsibility to its citizens, and the extreme communist system, the Islamic economy determines the forms of trade and services that can and cannot be transacted. In every practice in the field, the application of fish buying and selling practices in the TPI market can occur according to Islamic and non-Islamic provisions. This depends on the factors that support the implementation of sharia buying and selling.
