Literature review: The literature review covers classical and contemporary Islamic legal literature, murābaḥah contracts, and BNPL practices in Indonesian fintech. It was found that there is a lack of integration between sharia principles and sustainability aspects in the digital BNPL scheme. Methods: Using a normative qualitative approach through the study of Islamic legal literature and secondary data on BNPL practice, to formulate an alternative sharia model based on the murābaḥah bi al-taqsīṭ contract.
