Adapting the Qur’anic Principle of Witnesses in Financial Transactions: A Double Movement Approach in Tafsir al-Misbah

Muhammad Pajri Zullian, Ilhamni Ilhamni, Devina Novela

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the application of the witness principle in Surah al-Baqarah verse 282 as interpreted in Tafsir al-Misbah by M. Quraish Shihab, and to explore its relevance within the context of modern Islamic financial law, particularly in Islamic banking and fintech. Using Fazlur Rahman’s Double Movement approach, this research connects the witness principle found in the revealed text with the development of digital technology and contemporary financial systems. The findings indicate that although the form of witnessing has evolved with the rise of digital finance, the core values of justice, transparency, and honesty as interpreted in Tafsir al-Misbah remain deeply relevant. The implementation of the witness principle through digital tools such as blockchain and smart contracts ensures that debt-based transactions in Islamic banking and fintech uphold Islamic standards of justice, while the Double Movement methodology enables this integration without compromising the essence of Qur’anic teachings, thus affirming the ongoing relevance of foundational Islamic legal principles in today’s technology-driven financial systems.
