Moral Hazard in Market Activities: A Textual and Contextual Perspective Review of Hadith

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze at the moral hazard of market activity in the Prophet's hadith. The market is a place where traders can engage in economic activity in order to make a profit. Some traders are forced to compromise their morality due to profit motivation. This is a qualitative descriptive research. This study employs the hermeneutic method, which entails examining the text and context in order to fully comprehend the prophet's hadith. The findings of this study show that Allah despises the market, which is an expression of the prophet's feelings about the types of market activity carried out by traders that are prohibited by Shari'a. Usury, gharar, and maisir are examples of traders' moral hazard behavior, which causes injustice and harm to third parties.
