The tendency of the community towards halal products is currently increasing, not only related to objects/goods but also related to muamalah/interactions. The development of the latest fintech applications needs to be examined and detailed again, to be linked with related sharia law. In addition to examining legal status, an interesting thing to develop is how to formulate a fintech application that is following the Islamic economic perspective. Therefore, it is crucial to always review the National Sharia Board – Indonesian Council of Ulama (Dewan Syariah Nasional – Majelis Ulama Indonesia – DSN-MUI)’s fatwa related to fintech applications in Islamic financial institutions (LKS). The results of this study will be used as input for DSN-MUI to formulate policies and fatwas that is issued. This research is a qualitative type. The research subjects are; (1) Sharia Cards, (2) Sharia Charge Cards, (3) Transfers and Collections, (4) Payment Services, and (5) Sharia Electronic Money. There are differences in the bases for determining the contract of each of these products between Islamic countries. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the sharia card product is more appropriate to use the hawalah contract than the kafalah contract, and it is necessary to fix fines due to maturity, monthly fees that are not related to the amount of debt, and to write off merchant fees; (2) Sharia Charge Card products should use a hawalah contract rather than a kafalah contract and need to eliminate fines due to late payment; (3) the use of the wakalah contract on transfer and collection products is correct; (4) payment service products that use a wakalah and ijarah contract should be sufficient to use one of the two; and (5) electronic money can function as money, with transactions using the hawalah principle, as well as debit cards (wadi'ah principles). So, four improvements are proposed to the DSN-MUI fatwas related to the fintech application.========================================================================================================Tinjauan Terhadap Fatwa Terkait Penerapan Fintech pada Lembaga Keuangan Syariah di Indonesia. Kecenderungan masyarakat terhadap produk-produk halal saat ini semakin meningkat, tidak hanya terkait dengan benda/barang namun juga terkait muamalah/interaksi. Perkembangan aplikasi fintech terbaru perlu dicermati dan didetailkan lagi, untuk dikaitkan dengan hukum syariat terkait. Selain pencermatan status hukum, hal yang menarik untuk dikembangkan adalah bagaimana merumuskan aplikasi fintech yang sesuai dengan pandangan ekonomi Islam. Oleh karena itu sangat perlu untuk selalu meninjau fatwa DSN-MUI terkait aplikasi fintech pada lembaga keuangan syariah (LKS). Hasil kajian ini akan menjadi masukan bagi DSN-MUI untuk merumuskan kebijakan-kebijakan dan fatwa-fatwa yang dikeluarkannya. Penelitian ini berjenis kualitatif. Subjek penelitiannya adalah: (1) Syariah Card, (2) Syariah Charge Card, (3) Transfer dan Inkaso, (4) Jasa Pembayaran, dan (5) Uang Elektronik Syariah. Terdapat perbedaan dasar-dasar penentuan akad dari setiap produk tersebut di antara negeri-negeri Islam. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) produk syariah card lebih tepat menggunakan akad hawalah dibandingkan dengan akad kafalah, serta perlu membenahi denda akibat jatuh tempo, monthly fee yang  tidak dikaitkan dengan jumlah utang, dan menghapus merchant fee; (2) produk Syariah Charge Card sebaiknya menggunakan akad hawalah dibandingkan dengan akad kafalah serta perlu menghilangkan denda akibat keterlambatan pelunasan; (3) penggunaan akad wakalah pada produk transfer dan inkaso sudah tepat; (4) produk jasa pembayaran yang menggunakan akad wakalah dan ijarah seharusnya cukup menggunakan salah satu dari keduanya; dan (5) uang elektronik dapat berfungsi sebagaimana uang, dengan transaksi menggunakan prinsip hawalah, sebagaimana kartu debit (prinsip wadi’ah). Jadi, diusulkan empat perbaikan atas fatwa–fatwa DSN-MUI terkait aplikasi fintech.

Islam as ad-din contains comprehensive and perfect teachings. Islam regulates all aspects of human life, not only aspects of worship, but also aspects of muamalah, especially sharia economics. The Islamic economic system has developed along with the advancement of science and technology. One form of embodiment of the Islamic economic system is the establishment of Islamic financial institutions in the form of banks and non-banks. The role and position of Islamic financial institutions is considered very important, especially in the development of a people's economic system. This is because the priority of Islamic financial institutions is more focused on forming stronger economic fundamentals.

The problem of Islamic economics is also increasingly complex with the large number of banks. To meet the needs of transactions, banks have products that are offered to the public. In accordance with the function of the bank, namely collecting and distributing funds to the public. The purpose of channeling funds by Islamic banks is to support the implementation of development, improve justice, togetherness and equal distribution of people's welfare. This paper will answer what is the meaning of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir and how do the Implications of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir in the development of Islamic economy? The result of research shows that the meaning of the rule of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir is the difficulty of bringing convenience. The point is that if implementing a provision of shara' mukallaf faces obstacles in the form of difficulties and limitations that exceed the limits of reasonable capabilities, then the difficulty automatically creates relief provisions. In other words, if we find difficulty in carrying out something that is to be sharia, then the difficulty becomes a justifiable cause to facilitate in carrying out something that is to be provision of sharia, so that we can continue to run the sharia of Allah easily. The implications raised by the rules of al-mashaqqah tajlib al-taysir are the determination of the law of Islamic financial institutions. This impact is seen when Islamic law allows transactions in Islamic banking financial institutions, so that the community will easily meet the needs by transacting with Islamic banking through contracts that have been agreed upon. Keywords: al-Mashaqqah Tajlib al-Taysir, Islamic Economic Development

The Islamic economic system can be an option during the current world economic system with its market mechanism that can no longer be controlled by anyone and any system. The Islamic economic system is present as an alternative to the alignment of the economic system in a market order that is just and beneficial for human welfare. Islamic sharia principles in asset management emphasize the balance between individual and community interests, where assets must be used for productive things, especially investment activities which are the basis of economic activity in society. Interest-free financial institutions (Islamic financial institutions) as the implementation of the Islamic economic system include two institutions, namely bank financial institutions and non-bank financial institutions. In carrying out their financial activities, the two types of institutions carry out the main principles in transactions, namely: the prohibition of usury (interest) in various forms of transactions, conducting business, and trading activities based on obtaining legal profits according to sharia, and giving zakat.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the role and responsibilities of Shari’ah auditors in Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) in the auditing process in the IFIs, to highlight capacity building challenges in the Shari’ah auditing industry. Design/methodology/approach – The authors used a legitimacy theory to understand linkages between demand for Shari’ah audit and the role of Shari’ah auditors in IFIs complemented with the review the Accounting and Auditing Organization of Islamic Financial Institutions and Auditing Standard for Islamic Financial Institutions to understand the Shari’ah audit work requirements from an Islamic perspective. Findings – Shari’ah auditing is an emerging field of investigation. There is no doubt that conventional auditing has a significant influence on the auditing frameworks used in IFIs. Western auditing practices are undergoing a metamorphosis to meet the needs of stakeholders in the Islamic economic system. The role and responsibilities of auditors in IFIs are much broader than those found in conventional banks in relation to an examination of a variety of contracts, product structures, transactions reporting, preparation of financial statements, reports, marketing circulars and any other legal documents, which are pertinent to IFIs’ operations. Practical implications – We posit that the absence of a proper Shari’ah auditing framework and standards attuned to the needs of an Islamic economic system could dampen the future of the Islamic finance industry. The regulators and management of IFIs should meet the expectations of the stakeholders to whom they owe a duty of care by selecting competent professionals for auditing work, along with transparent policies and systems. Originality/value – This paper presents an attempt to establish auditors’ roles and responsibilities from an Islamic perspective.
