Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced on Thursday (September 27, 2025) that Starbucks will close hundreds of stores this month, representing approximately 1 percent of its total stores.[1]

The company had 18,734 stores in North America at the end of June and said it expects to have only 18,300 stores by the end of September. In a letter to employees, Niccol stated that the company is reviewing its store network, and that the locations being closed are those that are unable to create the physical environment customers and partners expect or where financial performance prospects are lacking.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Introduction

The development of Islamic economics in Indonesia has grown rapidly, especially after the enactment of Law No. 21 of 2008 on Islamic Banking and Law No. 19 of 2008 on Sovereign Sukuk (SBSN). One of the fundamental aspects of Islamic economic practice is the 'akad' (contract/agreement), which serves as the legal basis for the validity of a transaction in accordance with Sharia principles. These contracts are not only applied in the banking sector but also in financing, investment, insurance, and the Islamic capital market.

Legal Foundations

1. The Qur’an – principles of muamalah (transactions) based on justice, mutual consent, and prohibition of riba (usury) (Surah Al-Baqarah: 275–279).
2. Hadith of the Prophet – emphasizing clarity, fairness, and mutual consent in transactions.
3. Compilation of Sharia Economic Law (KHES, 2008) – a legal reference for resolving disputes in Islamic economic activities.
4. DSN-MUI Fatwas – providing detailed guidelines for various contracts such as murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah, and others.

Types of Sharia Contracts in Indonesia

In general, Sharia contracts are categorized into several main groups:

1. Tabarru’ Contracts (Non-Profit/Non-Commercial)

These contracts are intended for mutual assistance rather than profit.

• Qardh – a loan without interest, requiring repayment of the principal only.
• Wadi’ah – safekeeping or deposit of goods/money.
• Hibah – voluntary gift without compensation.
• Wakalah – granting authority to act on someone’s behalf.
• Kafalah – guarantee or surety by a third party.
• Hawalah – transfer of debt from one party to another.

2. Tijarah Contracts (Commercial/Profit-Oriented)

These contracts are designed to generate lawful profits.

• Murabahah – sale with cost-plus margin agreed upon by both parties.
• Salam – forward sale with advance payment and future delivery.
• Istisna’ – manufacturing or procurement contract based on specific orders, with flexible payment terms.
• Ijarah – lease or rental of goods or services.
• Ijarah Muntahiyah Bittamlik (IMBT) – lease contract ending with transfer of ownership.

3. Syirkah Contracts (Partnership/Joint Venture)

Contracts based on cooperation and profit-sharing.

• Musyarakah – partnership where two or more parties contribute capital, and profits are shared according to agreement.
• Mudharabah – a partnership where the capital provider (shahibul maal) entrusts funds to a manager (mudharib), with profit-sharing based on agreed ratios, while losses are borne by the capital provider unless negligence occurs.

4. Supporting and Derivative Contracts

• Rahn (Islamic Pawn) – pledging assets as collateral for a loan.
• Ju’alah – promise of reward for completing a specific task or result.
• Istijrar – repeated sale and purchase over a period with deferred payment.

Implementation in Indonesia

In practice, these contracts are applied in various sectors:

• Islamic banking → murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah, ijarah.
• Islamic insurance (takaful) → tabarru’, wakalah bil ujrah.
• Islamic capital market → sukuk with ijarah, mudharabah, or musyarakah contracts.
• Islamic microfinance institutions (BMTs, Islamic cooperatives) → qardh, rahn, murabahah.

Conclusion

Sharia contracts in Indonesia demonstrate the flexibility of Islamic law in addressing modern economic needs. The diversity of contracts allows for fair, transparent, and lawful transactions, free from riba (usury), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation). Moving forward, strengthening regulations and improving public literacy will further solidify Sharia contracts as the foundation of Indonesia’s halal economy.

The Head of State then expressed deep concern over the ongoing humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. "Thousands of innocent lives, many of them women and children, have been killed. Famine threatens. A humanitarian disaster is unfolding before our eyes. We condemn all acts of violence against innocent civilians," he said.[1]

The President emphasized that the international community's historical responsibility concerns not only the future of Palestine, but also the future of Israel and the credibility of the UN itself. He stated that Indonesia remains steadfast in its commitment to a two-state solution as the only path to peace. "Therefore, Indonesia reaffirms its commitment to a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue. Only this two-state solution will bring peace," he stressed. "We must guarantee Palestinian statehood, but Indonesia also states that once Israel recognizes Palestinian independence and statehood, Indonesia will immediately recognize the State of Israel and we will support all of Israel's security guarantees," he continued.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
