Abstract

In addition to adhering to the Qur'an and Hadith, the DSN-MUI also considers contemporary developments and societal needs when issuing fatwas. These adjustments are sometimes not explicitly accommodated in the nash or ijma' of scholars. This article seeks to analyze fatwa revisions that have resulted in shifts in focus and alignment by the fatwa drafters. This study is qualitative in nature, focusing on the analysis of several fatwas related to tabarru' contracts such as wakalah, kafalah, and hawalah, which have evolved into tijari contracts, as well as fatwas regarding accelerated payment discounts in murabahah financing. The study demonstrates that fatwa drafters continuously review and update prior fatwas to align with societal circumstances and needs while maintaining adherence to sharia principles. Most of the legal foundations for these shifts in contracts are based on the opinions of scholars such as Wahbah Zuhaili, Syaukani, Mushthafa 'Abdullah al-Hamsyari, and others. Such changes are permissible as long as they do not contradict existing nash. These revisions have encouraged a shift in the focus of fatwa drafters from a strong emphasis on purely upholding sharia guidelines in Islamic economics and finance to adapting to the prevailing circumstances and needs of society. This shift also accommodates the interests of stakeholders involved in Islamic economics and finance, including customers, Islamic financial institutions (LKS), and third parties. The changes in several DSN-MUI fatwas align with the characteristics of fiqh muamalah, which allows for adjustments (muthaghayyirat) as long as no explicit prohibitions exist in the sources of Islamic law.
