E-Commerce from an Islamic perspective

In order to understant how E-commerce is viewed from an islamic perspective we have to be clear on what E-commerce means, an it "consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks"! (1). It is not as easy for the muslims because they rigously follow their religion and in this especific case the muslims dont know wheter E-commerce is acceptable by the Syariah, which is the Islamic Law. Some aspects are very important when talking about E-commerce because some issues such as credit cards, payments, interest and also interaction between the parties have to be taken into account in order to allow E-commerce for the muslims. All of the things mentioned above are very important to the followers of the Islam, but what i found is that even though the muslims are very religious they can still use E-commerce with some sort of guidelines.
