Abstract

Online transactions can be eased using smartphone applications such as m-banking, go pay, ovo, funds, and other financial transaction applications, many people also make balance exchange transactions between applications. This is used by balance exchange service providers between applications. The conversion service will get a fee or wage after making a transaction. Wages should fulfil an element of fairness and honesty that applies in general. As the conversion service in the Tanam Shopee Facebook group did, the balance conversion service sets a fee without a contract at the start and immediately deducts it from the converted balance. The formulation of the problems in this study are as follows: 1). What is the system for determining balance conversion services between applications on the Tanam Shopee Facebook Group? 2). What is the review of Sharia economic law regarding the provision of balance conversion services between applications on the Planting Shopee Facebook Group? This research is a type of field research, namely by explaining and describing circumstances and phenomena that are clearer about the situation that occurs, and the nature of this research is descriptive analysis. This research approaches interviewing and observing the practice of converting services conducted on the Tanam Shopee Facebook group. Based on the research conducted, there are two systems for determining service fees for converting balances between applications on the Tanam Shopee Facebook group between converting service providers and converting service users. First, the conversion service informs about the transaction costs and then an agreement contract. Second, the conversion service does not mention transaction fees and immediately deducts the converted balance without any prior agreement. This is a review of Sharia Economic Law regarding the service system for converting balances on the Facebook Tanam Shopee group. The first system in practice is based on the terms of ijarah, which fulfill the legal requirements and pillars of ijarah. The transaction fees are collected, and the consent granted is done in writing. Payment is made at the end of the transaction as per the agreement. Once all these terms and pillars of ijarah are fulfilled, the transaction is declared valid. Meanwhile, in the second conversion service system, wage practices in this contract are declared valid or invalid because one of the pillars and conditions of ijarah is not fulfilled, namely, the absence of sight or consent, and qabul in the transaction, wages in a contract, the quantity or quality of wages must be clear, whether in the form of nominal figures, percentages that are agreed upon and known by the parties conducting the contract. In this case, there is one party, namely the service user does not know how much the wage rate is charged. So that in practice the wages of this contract are declared valid or invalid.
