Keywords:
Islamic Law, Price Rounding, Courier, Buying and Selling, Paying on the spotAbstract
This research is motivated by the practice of rounding prices by couriers in buying and selling using the Pay on Delivery delivery method in Kamulan Village, Durenan District, Trenggalek Regency, namely that there is a discrepancy in the actions carried out by couriers by rounding prices unilaterally without considering the principles of voluntarism and sincerity on the part of the buyer. Apart from being detrimental to the buyer, of course the actions carried out by the courier can affect the sale and purchase agreement that has been agreed between the seller and the buyer due to changes in prices as a result of price rounding carried out by the courier. The rounding carried out by the courier is not without reason, but aims to make it easier to make payments and return the remaining money, because it is difficult to provide refunds for denominations or loose change if the price of the item is in fractions. The problem formulation in this research is: 1) What is the practice of price rounding carried out by couriers in buying and selling using the pay-on-delivery method in Kamulan Village, Durenan District, Trenggalek Regency? 2) What is the view of Islamic law regarding the practice of rounding carried out by couriers in buying and selling using the Pay on Delivery delivery method in Kamulan Village, Durenan District, Trenggalek Regency?
The research method used by researchers is to use a qualitative approach with the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research type, namely the process of identifying, assessing and interpreting all available evidence with the aim of providing answers to specific research questions. The data collection techniques used in this research are interviews, observations, and documents. Meanwhile, data analysis techniques use data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions and verification. The results of this research show that: 1) the practice of rounding prices carried out by couriers in buying and selling using pay-on-site delivery in Kamulan Village, Durenan District, Trenggalek Regency is an act that is not legally valid, because the price rounding is not in accordance with the agreed price during transactions or contracts, so that it can be detrimental to society. 2) the practice of rounding prices carried out by couriers in buying and selling using pay-on-site delivery in Kamulan Village, Durenan District, Trenggalek Regency violates the principles of justice in Islamic law and destroys the contract that occurs, causing the transaction to be invalid, whereas in the istinbat method of sharia economic law , the practice of rounding prices is included in the Al-Urf Al-Fasid type. However, the practice of rounding prices is permitted if both parties feel mutually satisfied.
