Indonesia is a country with a rich cultural heritage and diverse social issues. One of the significant aspects of Indonesian culture is the role of Santri, which refers to students of Islamic boarding schools.

A warung (street stall) run by a non-Santri Muslim may be deemed "haram-adjacent" not due to ingredients, but due to the owner's religious orientation. This creates parallel economies—Islamic banks for Santri-only, Santri-owned e-commerce platforms—that, while self-sustaining, deepen economic apartheid.
