The main objective of this research is to analyze lookback options from both a jurisprudential and an economic perspective. A lookback option is a type of exotic option where the payoff is determined based on the minimum or maximum price of the underlying asset over the life of the option. This research delves into the economic nature and pricing methods of various types of lookback options. It then examines the jurisprudential nature of these options using the customary method of jurisprudence employed in analyzing Islamic financial instruments. The findings indicate that lookback options with floating and fixed strike prices are permissible within the framework of contracts such as Sale of Right, peace agreement, and initial condition and are Sharia-compliant for trading in Islamic capital markets. From an economic perspective, these options offer significant potential for hedging investor risk due to their transparent and flexible pricing mechanisms. This research provides a jurisprudential and economic framework for the use of lookback option contracts, paving the way for the application of this innovative tool in Islamic financial markets. It also contributes to enriching the jurisprudential and economic literature in this field.
