This article examines the shift of contract objectives from what originally set for non-profit objectives to business ones. Such shift is found in the three contracts; wakalah (power of attorney), hawalah (underground banking), and kafalah (guarantee). Referring to their uses in several Islamic financial products in Indonesia and comparing to the sharia resolution of Sharia Authority Council Malaysia and Islamic law (fiqh), the majority of these contracts is proven to apply fees (ujrah) and used both independently and in combination with other contracts. Here, the fees are mostly applied in the Islamic financial institutions, but unfortunately the customers who are involved in the contracts get less. This, in turn, affects and changes the contract classification which originally included the three in the non-profit contract and eventually turns them into the business contract. If the contracts are set for business objectives, they are then considered as service/lease based contracts (ijarah). In the construction of a real agreement (contract), this shift has implications on changes in the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved and can raise a dispute cause of misunderstanding of the status of the contract as voluntary (tabarru’) or business (tijari).

The development of sharia economy in Indonesia is increasing. Islamic economic development can be seen from the development of Islamic financial institutions and the Islamic financial instruments they offer, ranging from Islamic banks, Islamic capital markets, and Islamic insurance. With these developments, nowadays financing activities with sharia contracts are increasing and growing rapidly. However, only a few can pay it off. In other words, non-performing financing or bad loans at Islamic financial institutions often occur. Non-performing financing caused by the inability of the customer as a debtor to pay debts to a financial institution as a creditor resulted in the customer being bankrupted by the financial institution as a creditor. Bankruptcy is defined as the inability of the debtor or debtor (can be a person, legal entity, company) which is proven based on a court decision that the debtor has stopped paying his debts (unable to pay off debts) which results in general confiscation of his assets, so that the debtor is no longer entitled to manage his assets. . If it is associated with zakat, one of the ashnaf of zakat is gharimin or people who are in debt. Zakat institutions in Indonesia have not made bankrupt customers as gharimin who are entitled to receive zakat. The formulation of the problem in this paper is to find out the views of Islamic law on the status of bankrupt debtors as gharimin. The conclusion is that the status of a bankrupt debtor can be determined as a gharimin who is entitled to receive zakat. The use of debt in question can be for personal or public interest. The distribution pattern can use the qardh hasan pattern where the zakat given to the gharimin is not to be owned but to be returned again. The zakat funds are not only used to pay off debts, they can also be used as initial capital for bankrupt debtors to restart their business. Keywords: bankrupt debtor, gharimin, zakat mustahik.

Islamic banks are required to ensure their operations and activities comply with the Shariah principles. According to Islamic Financial Services Act (2013) in Malaysia, all operations and activities of Islamic financial institutions including Islamic banks have to comply with decisions made by the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Shariah Committee (SC) of the Islamic financial institution to ensure Shariah compliance. In practice, Shariah compliance is considered a crucial factor by bank stakeholders, especially Muslim customers in their decision to use Islamic financial products. Thus, one of the ways for Islamic banks to convey their Shariah-compliance to their stakeholders is through annual reports. This study examines the level of compliance on Shariah disclosure in the annual reports of Malaysian Islamic banks. A Shariah disclosure index, comprising mandatory and voluntary items, was developed from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) guidelines and Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) standards. Shariah disclosure data were collected from the annual reports for the year 2016 of the 16 Islamic banks in Malaysia. Based on Institutional Theory, this study hypothesised high compliance, however the results revealed that none of the banks had full compliance to the mandatory items. Nevertheless, some of these banks disclosed voluntary items. The findings provide useful insights to the regulators and stakeholders on Islamic banks’ compliance on Shariah disclosure. The study also reveals the importance of disclosing additional items in the annual reports of Islamic banks.

The study aims to examine the Shari’ah legality of whether pledgor or pledgee should take care of collateral (marhun) during the period of the loan. Moreover, the study seeks to provide possible applications for the pledge (rahn) and clarify Shari’ah rules for each application. Malaysian Islamic banks apply pledge products by offering loans (qardh hasan) to the customers and requesting gold assets as collateral against a loan. The banks charge safekeeping fees to keep the gold until the maturity date of the loan. This practice combines loan and sale contracts in a single transaction. Accordingly, the study seeks to evaluate this practice from an Islamic point of view. Islamic law categorizes loans under charity contracts while the sale is categorized under contracts of exchange (mu’awadhat). The nature of the two contracts is different. Therefore, the study examines categories that combine loans and contracts of exchange in one transaction. The results reveal that it is not permissible for the pledgee to charge fees higher than market fees for the keeping of collateral. Charging fees that are higher than the market price is considered riba. According to Shari’ah rules, any kind of benefit derived from a loan is riba and thus it is prohibited. However, charging fees that are comparable to the market price and cover the actual cost for safekeeping of collateral is permissible. According to Islamic Fiqh Academy resolutions and AAOIFI standards, Islamic banks may charge fees for safekeeping of gold collateral considering that fees should be to the market fees and should only cover actual expenses.

Since its inception a few decades ago, the industry of Islamic banking and finance has been regulating itself in terms of Sharia governance. Although some regulatory authorities from within the industry, such as Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB), the Islamic banking and finance industry remains to a great extent self-regulated. This is because none of the resolutions or the regulatory authorities' standards are binding on the Islamic financial institution except when the institution itself willingly chooses to bind itself by them. Few countries have enforced some Sharia-governance-related regulations on their Islamic banks. However, in most cases, these regulations do not go beyond the requirement to formulate some Sharia controlling bodies, which are practically left to the same operating banks. Furthermore, some of the few existing regulatory authorities' standards and resolutions are conflicted with other resolutions issued by Fiqh academies. The paper addresses those issues by highlighting the shortcomings and then proposing the necessary reforms to help reach effective Shariah governance that would protect the industry from within and help it achieve its goals. The paper concludes by proposing a Shariah governance model that should overcome the challenges addressed in the study.Pada awal berdiri, Lembaga Keuangan Syariah merupakan lembaga keuangan yang menerapkan Hukum Syariah secara mandiri dalam sistem operasionalnya. Ia tidak tunduk pada peraturan lembaga keuangan konvensional, sehingga dapat terus berkomiten dalam menerapkan Hukum Syariah secara benar. Selanjutnya, muncullah beberapa otoritas peraturan yang berasal dari pengembangan Lembaga Keuangan Syariah. Diantaranya adalah Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) dan Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). Hal ini tidak menyimpang dari kerangka peraturan Hukum Syariah, sebab standar peraturan dan keputusan yang dikeluarkan ditujukan khusus untuk Lembaga Keuangan Syariah saja. Beberapa Negara telah menerapkan peraturan tata kelola Hukum Syariah pada Bank Syariah mereka. Namun dalam banyak kasus, peraturan yang diterapkan tidak mampu mengontrol Lembaga Keuangan Syariah tersebut secara penuh. Sehingga, secara praktis proses pengawasan diserahkan kepada lembaga keuangan yang beroperasi. Akan tetapi, beberapa standar dan keputusan yang dikeluarkan oleh sebagian pemangku kebijakan bertentangan dengan keputusan yang dikeluarkan oleh beberapa akademi Fiqh. Artikel ini ditulis untuk menyoroti permasalahan yang timbul pada tata kelola Lembaga Keuangan Syariah, khususnya kekurangan yang tampak pada sistem tata kelola. Kemudian, penulis akan mengajukan usulan tentang efektifitas tata kelola Lembaga Keuangan Syariah yang bebas dari permasalahan.

AbstractThis study describes the review of Islamic law related to the sale and purchase of workdays conducted by factory workers Oil palm Fabrique in Simpang Nibung Rawas Village, South Sumatra Province. This paper is field research by interviewing 13 factory workers to get an overview of buying and selling working days. This study also uses a literature review from Islamic legal sources and MUI fatwas to explain the appropriateness of buying and selling working days with Islamic legal principles. In practice, buying and selling working days is not following the provisions of the MUI DSN Fatwa because the ujrah imposed on the seller is determined by one party, the buyer, and the amount of the ujrah is expressed in terms of percentage rather than in nominal form. Besides, there is a mechanism that causes the transaction to contain gharar elements such as the sale of working days that are not yet owned, and the presence of gharar elements creates a new element, namely usury. Sales of working days that are not yet owned by workers cause at the end of the agreement the seller is required to pay the principal receivables accompanied by profits determined by the buyer that can be equated with borrowing money with interest. This research suggests that factory workers borrow funds from Islamic financial institutions that are more in line with Islamic legal guidance This research suggests factory workers not to continue the practice of buying and selling weekdays because there are elements of gharar and usury in it and to consider Islamic financial institutions and zakat institutions as a solution for lending funds.AbstrakPenelitian ini menjelaskan mengenai kajian Hukum Islam terkait jual  beli hari kerja yang dilakukan oleh buruh pabrik CV. Sawit yang ada di DesaSimpang Nibung Rawas, Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan penelitian lapangan (field research) dengan mewancarai 13 buruh pabrik untuk mendapatkan gambaran praktik jual beli hari kerja. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan literature review dari sumber-sumber hukum Islam dan fatwa MUI dalam menjelaskan kesesuaian praktik jual beli hari kerja dengan prinsip hukum Islam. Dalam praktiknya jual beli hari kerja tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan Fatwa DSN MUI karena ujrah yang dikenakan kepada penjual ditentukan oleh satu pihak yaitu pembeli dan besarnya keuntungan dinyatakan dengan bentuk prosentase dan bukan dalam bentuk nominal. Selain itu, terdapat alur mekanisme yang menyebabkan bahwa transaksi tersebut mengandung unsur gharar seperti penjualan hari kerja yang belum dimiliki, serta adanya unsur gharar tersebut menimbulkan unsur baru yaitu riba. Penjualan hari kerja yang belum dimiliki oleh buruh menyebabkan saat akhir perjanjian penjual diharuskan membayar pokok piutang disertai keuntungan yang di tentukan oleh pembeli yang dapat disamakan dengan peminjaman uang dengan bunga. Penelitian ini menyarankan para buruh pabrik untuk tidak melanjutkan praktik jual beli hari kerja karena terdapat unsur gharar dan riba yang diharamkan dalam Islam serta mempertimbangkan lembaga keuangan syariah dan lembaga zakat sebagai solusi peminjaman dana.

Sharia financial Institution is one of the economic supporters of Indonesia. It is evidenced by the number of Islamic financial institutions that have sprung up this year, both sharia bank and non-bank sharia financial institution. It accommodates the aspiration and need of the society. The public is given the widest opportunity to establish a bank based on sharia principles, including convert from commercial banks whose business activities are based on conventional patterns into sharia patterns. The more sharia financial institutions that emerge, the more products offered by Islamic financial institutions to customers with the level of risk that can be overcome. The writing aims to answer the formulation of problem of settlement of import debts, contract of ju’a>lah and Sharia Certificate of Bank Indonesia (SBIS) in perspective of DSN-MUI fatwa. The result of research shows that in the DSN-MUI fatwa, it is explained that the settlement of imported debt or we know as letter of credit (L/C) may use the kafa>lah contract by taking a fee. It is also explained that one of the forms of kafa>lah contract is kafa>lah bi al-ma>l which is the application of kafa>lah contract which guarantees the payment of goods or debt repayment. This guarantee may be provided by the sharia bank to its customers in return for a fee. For the settlement of import debt there are several contracts that can be used, namely the contract of h}iwa>lah bi al-ujrah, waka>lah bi al-ujrah, and kafa>lah bi al-ujrah The Sharia Certificate of Bank Indonesia which used to be wadi>’ah with Wadi>’ah Certificate of Bank Indonesia which is now changed with Sharia Certificate of Bank Indonesia uses ju’a>lah contract. In this contract, Bank Indonesia pays the repayment upon maturity of SBIS with the relevant sharia banking record having performed and achieving the objectives expected by Bank Indonesia. If the sharia banking concerned is not able to achieve the desired objectives or stipulated by Bank Indonesia in terms of monetary control based on sharia principles, the relevant sharia banking will not receive any compensation from Bank Indonesia.
