Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) in empowering the community's economy, especially in areas with low levels of economic welfare. BMT as a sharia-based microfinance institution has two main functions: a social fund management institution (Baitul Maal) and a commercial financial institution (Baitul Tamwil). This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method on several BMTs in the research area. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The study results indicate that BMT has contributed to improving the community's standard of living through micro-business financing, entrepreneurship training, and management of social funds in the form of zakat, infaq, and sedekah. In addition, BMT also plays a role in strengthening the community's social capital by encouraging active participation in community-based economic activities. The obstacles BMT faces in economic empowerment include limited capital, lack of financial literacy in the community, and challenges in maintaining sharia principles amidst competition from conventional financial institutions.

Abstract

This study analyzes legal risks in the operational system of Islamic banks, with the aim of identifying factors that can affect legal compliance and their implications for the stability of Islamic banking. Islamic banks operate based on sharia principles as stated in national regulations and fatwas of the National Sharia Council (DSN), so that potential legal risks can arise due to inconsistencies in products and services with sharia provisions, changes in regulations, and lack of legal understanding by stakeholders. This study uses a qualitative method with an analysis of Islamic banking regulations, case studies of legal disputes, and interviews with practitioners and regulators. The results of the study indicate that strengthening compliance with sharia regulations and harmonization between positive law and Islamic law are key to mitigating legal risks. In addition, increasing contract transparency, legal education for industry players, and the active role of supervisory authorities can increase the effectiveness of the operational system of Islamic banks. Thus, this study provides strategic recommendations for Islamic banks in managing legal risks in order to maintain the sustainability and trust of customers in the Islamic banking industry.
