Analisis Yuridis terhadap Legalitas Penghasilan Youtuber dalam perspektif Hukum Islam

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legality of YouTuber income from an Islamic economic perspective, especially in relation to the content produced and advertisements displayed through the Google AdSense program. The main focus of this study is to review the halal or haram status of YouTuber income based on sharia principles, as well as to understand the form of contract that underlies the cooperation between YouTubers and advertising providers. This study uses a library research method by reviewing Islamic literature, fatwas of the Indonesian Ulema Council, books, scientific journals, and other relevant documents related to muamalah law and digital media. The results of the study show that the profession of YouTuber is permissible in Islam as long as the uploaded content does not violate sharia. The permissibility of income from AdSense depends heavily on two things: content and type of advertisement. If both are in accordance with Islamic values, then the income is halal and even obligatory to be zakat if it meets the nisab and haul. From the perspective of the contract, the collaboration between YouTubers and Google AdSense can be categorized as syirkah abdan and ju'alah, which is valid as long as it meets the requirements such as clarity of the agreement, the consent of both parties, and is free from elements of usury, gharar, and maysir. The MUI fatwa emphasizes that transactions through social media must reflect faith, piety, and noble morals, and avoid all forms of content or activities that damage sharia values. Therefore, Muslim YouTubers have a sharia responsibility to maintain the integrity of content and digital ethics in all their activities.
