Summary/Abstract |
Muslims in the Mekong River Delta are mainly ethnic Cham (one of 54 ethnicities in Viet Nam), living in An Giang Province. They adopted Islam in the early days. This religion has formed Cham characteristics in the community culture different from the Kinh (Vietnamese), Hoa (Chinese), and Khmer ethnic groups in the surrounding areas. This difference is due to the influence of religious views, especially the Islamic Sharia law. In reality, Sharia law is appropriately interpreted from the perspective of Cham Muslims, so it is simpler than the “orthodox” original law. Cham Muslims apply this simple interpretation in their religious life, especially in economic behavior and sharing benefits through their zakat practice. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in An Giang Province, this article analyzes the current understanding of Sharia law in the Cham Muslims community, the application of this understanding in economic behavior, and the fulfillment of zakat duties.
