Contextual Interpretation of QS Al-Baqarah 275 and Its Relevance to the Approaching Online Purchase: Abdullah Saeed

Abstract

This study tries to explain how usury has to do with the activities that are being carried out by many people in this millennial era, namely buying and selling online. Buying and selling activities certainly cannot be separated from human activities in general. Of course, the activity of buying and selling is a basic human need both in the lower classes to the upper middle class. In the Al-Qur'an itself, buying and selling activities are an activity that is permitted by law while not in a negative trading activity. Buying and selling in its application in daily life is not always a clean sale and purchase, but there are times when buying and selling is classified as buying and selling which is dirty one of them is approaching the practice of usury, as we know usury has nothing to do with buying and selling if it is seen in terms of the general meaning of these two things, but in this study the author wants to try to show that sometimes buying and selling sometimes brings us to the practice of usury. The author tries to reveal the involvement of usury in the practice of buying and selling by using al-Qur'an arguments contained in Sura Al-Baqarah verse 275. Not only by using the verse, the author uses the theory promoted by Abdullah Saeed, a contextual approach. It would be very appropriate to use the theory so that the author can find out the truth about buying and selling online which is close to the practice of usury. Then the content of the analysis that the author will use as a scalpel in this study. So that this research is expected to produce a finding that usury is not only interpreted as interest that we know is always associated with the context of bank interest and in the context of loans, but usury can also approach buying and selling activities, especially buying and selling online.
