Synopsis: The rapid expansion of digital platforms has transformed global labor markets, giving rise to what is commonly known as the gig economy. Characterized by flexible, task-based, and platform-mediated work arrangements, this new economic landscape challenges conventional notions of employment, wages, risk, and social protection. Within Islamic economics and finance, the gig economy presents both opportunities and ethical questions. This book examines its foundations, contractual structures, governance dimensions, and future directions through the lens of Shariah principles and the broader objectives of maqasid al-shariah.
