Abstract

This study aims to understand impulsive buying behavior in the context of online shopping from the perspective of Islamic economics. The research was conducted through library research, collecting data from relevant journals, books, and credible online sources. The analysis employed an interpretative approach, focusing on identifying the meaning and relationship between causal factors, impacts, and Islamic values in consumption behavior. The findings reveal that impulsive buying is influenced by emotional, social, and technological factors, particularly among younger generations who are easily affected by digital promotions and social trends. The negative effects include regret, financial imbalance, and the rise of a consumerist lifestyle. From an Islamic perspective, such behavior can be addressed through the principles of qana’ah (contentment), tawazun (moderation), and self-control, ensuring that consumption is based on real needs and contributes to individual welfare as well as social benefit.

Bahasa Indonesia
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami perilaku impulsive buying atau pembelian impulsif dalam konteks belanja online ditinjau dari perspektif ekonomi Islam. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui kajian pustaka, dengan mengumpulkan referensi dari jurnal ilmiah, buku, dan sumber daring yang relevan. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan interpretatif, yaitu menafsirkan makna dan keterkaitan antara faktor penyebab, dampak, serta nilai-nilai Islam dalam perilaku konsumsi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku impulsif dipengaruhi oleh faktor emosional, sosial, dan teknologi, terutama di kalangan usia muda yang mudah terpengaruh oleh tren dan promosi digital. Dampak negatif yang muncul meliputi penyesalan, ketidakseimbangan finansial, dan meningkatnya gaya hidup konsumtif. Dalam pandangan Islam, perilaku ini dapat diatasi dengan menerapkan prinsip qana’ah (merasa cukup), tawazun (keseimbangan), dan pengendalian diri agar konsumsi didasarkan pada kebutuhan nyata serta memberikan kemaslahatan bagi diri dan masyarakat.
