Based on the analysis results, it was concluded that: the majority of former Indonesian migrant workers can behave in sharia economics for the family, neighbors, and community in a narrow sense. However, when migrant workers have come into contact with the broader community, with the conventional majority economic system, the condition of post-indonesia migrant workers becomes squeezed. However, they still try to behave in sharia economics, even though all of their business partners conduct conventional economic prantik.
