Halal responsibilities through Islamic business ethics practices: Implementation of trustworthy and fair values in traditional markets

This study was designed to examine the implementation of Islamic business ethics
as a form of halal responsibility in business practices in the Tirtoyudo traditional market, Malang,
Indonesia. An exploratory descriptive design with a single case study was used in this study. Data
was collected through in-depth interviews with several participants who were selected purposively
and with snowball sampling. The data was then analyzed using interactive models. The results
showed that trustworthy and fair values underlie business practices as a halal responsibility in traditional
markets. The successful application of trustworthy and fair values through a continuous
coaching process is supported by market entities with existing local cultural synergies. The application
of trustworthy and fair values in a mix of local cultures has implications for the sustainability
of traditional markets which can be adopted by both traditional and modern markets as a halal
market.
