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.

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.

The Global Financial Crisis

Islamic finance can no longer be dismissed as a passing fad or as an epiphenomenon of Islamic revivalism. Islamic financial institutions now operate in over 70 countries. Their assets have increased more than fortyfold since 1982 to exceed $200 billion. In 1996 and 1997, they have grown at respective annual rates of 24 and 26 per cent.1 By certain (probably overly optimistic) estimates, up to half of the savings of the Islamic world may in the near future end up being managed by Islamic financial institutions. The first Islamic banks were created in the 1970s, at the time when the aggiornamento of Islamic doctrine on banking matters was taking shape. At the time, Islamic banks were typically commercial banks operating on an interest-free basis. Today, as a consequence of broad changes in the political–economic environment, a new generation of Islamic financial institutions, more diverse and innovative, is emerging as the doctrine is undergoing a new aggiornamento. Perhaps the most important development has been the growing integration of Islamic finance into the global economy. There is now a Dow Jones Islamic Market Index, which tracks 600 companies (from inside and outside the Muslim world) whose products and services do not violate Islamic law. Foreign institutions such as Citibank have established Islamic banking subsidiaries, and many conventional banks – in the Muslim world but also in the United States and Europe – are now offering ‘Islamic products’ that are sometimes aimed at non-Muslims.

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.

Abstract In the implementation of Islamic Financial Institutions such as the Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT) there are various ways of collecting funds and channeling funds. Funds are collected through wadi'ah deposits and deposits. While the distribution of funds is done by murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah, rahn (pawn), ijarah, ijarah multijasa and qardhul hasan financing. Qardhul Hasan's financing is the orientation of the function of the Islamic Financial Institution (Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil) as a social institution. Qardhul hasan is a soft loan given on the basis of mere social obligations. In this case the borrower is not required to return anything except the amount borrowed. In Qardhul Hasan financing there are pillars and conditions, namely the perpetrator of the contract consisting of muqtaridh (borrower), muqridh (lender), qardh (fund), shighat ijab and qabul willingness for both parties and funds used for something useful and lawful. Qardhul Hasan is an activity to achieve a predetermined goal or target by the relevant Islamic financial institutions. The mechanism for implementing Qardhul Hasan is solely aimed at providing assistance to meet the needs of small communities. Thus it can be seen that the form of borrowing through Qardhul Hasan is in accordance with the principles of sharia economic law, the potential source of Qardhul Hasan's funding is quite large if it is utilized and managed optimally and its implementation is very useful for the community.

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.

ABSTRACTIslamic banking in Indonesia has experienced significant growth, including assets, financing providedand the number of customers. Murābaḥah is the sale and purchase of goods at the original price with theagreed-upon profit. In murābaḥah the seller must tell the cost of the product he buys and determine anadditional level of profit. This research is a library research about the murābaḥah contract according tomuamalah fiqh and its application in modern Islamic financial institutions. Methods of collecting data indocumentation and various sources related to the murābaḥah contract are then analyzed inductively anddeductively. The results of the study are the murābaḥah foundation is the principle of buying and sellingwith a deferred payment system. Murābaḥah, as used in Sharia banking, is based on two main elements,namely the purchase price and related costs, and the agreement on mark-up (profit). Islamic banks adoptmurābaḥah to provide short-term financing to customers for the purchase of goods even though thecustomer does not have the money to pay. The murābaḥah financing portfolio in Islamic banks reaches 70-80%, but in practice there have never been any problems, including; collateral which is a problem of fiqh,risk dependency as a problem of the bank, bankruptcy and delay in payment are the problems of customers,and profits are too high, namely the problem of coming from the community. Therefore, Islamic banks mustmake improvements in the implementation to be in accordance with Sharia.Keyword : Murābaḥah, Financing Instruments, Modern Islamic Financing

Purpose The Sharīʿah Standard No. (35) issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) aims to identify the zakāt base for institutions (including Islamic insurance companies) as well as the subsidiary and the mother company of the institution (the company). By zakāt base, the standard means the items of financial statements that should or should not be included in the calculation of the zakāt base, and the liabilities or allocations that should or should not be deducted from zakatable assets. The standard also covers payable zakāt rates, disbursement of zakāt funds on the eight categories of zakāt recipients and the rulings pertaining to disbursement. The focus then is on companies or corporations. There is no indication in the aims as to who owns the wealth of the corporation, that is, whether it is the company itself or it is the shareholders and whether it is treated as a joint wealth of the shareholders or of a single individual in the form of the company. The author will rely on this issue as one factor on the basis of which the standard is to be judged. Design/methodology/approach Quran and hadith. Works of earlier jurists. Findings In this study, the author has summarized the provisions of zakāt according to the traditional law, but only those that are relevant for the financial institutions and the standard issued by the AAOIFI. After that, the author mentioned the major points that have been addressed by the standard. In the last section, the author has shown that the rulings of the Islamic Fiqh Academy and the AAOIFI on zakāt are totally confusing and merely a reproduction of the rulings of traditional law. The main reason for this confusion is that the nature and entity of a corporation have not been addressed and have been treated like a partnership, thus, jumbling up the entire issue of zakāt through banks. Originality/value The main purpose in undertaking this original work is to examine the AAOIFI Sharīʿah Standards from the perspective of traditional Islamic law, that is, the law of the senior schools as laid down in their authentic manuals. If there is an extensive deviation from this law, then this must be pointed out in the hope that it will be corrected by the concerned institution and the banks that adopt these standards. Neglecting such a corrective action for long will result in damage not only to these institutions in the long run but also to the law of Islam that has been so carefully crafted over centuries. The purpose is to show how far this standard deviates from traditional Islamic law and claims to be called the authentic view on a particular subject. Nevertheless, it is not the purpose of this work to explain and elaborate on the meaning and utility of these standards.

This study aims to understand the role of Sharia Supervisors in the private Zakat Institution (LAZ) as well as other aspects of sharia compliance, such as Zakat fatwa on the perspective of Zakat officers. According to Decree of the Minister of Religion Number 333 / 2015 that LAZ as register must have a sharia supervisor. Sharia compliance of an institution could rely on the role of the sharia supervisory board (SSB). Some literature discussing this topic is still dominated study on Islamic financial institutions (IFIs), especially in Islamic Banks. Therefore this article will contribute to the body of knowledge, especially in the zakat literature. Data were gathered from five presiding officers of private zakat institutions in one province in Indonesia which consists of three presiding officers from provincial LAZ representative and two presiding officers from LAZ district. The study found that Sharia compliance in LAZ had many weaknesses such as lack of sharia control by sharia supervisors, a member of the sharia supervisory board who does not follow the latest issues about Zakat or the absence of competency requirements to be a sharia supervisor at LAZ and also did not make Zakat fatwa issued by MUI as the primary reference by zakat officer. This information will be useful for stakeholders, including supervisory authorities and regulators.
