Al-Hadith is currently experiencing significant
development. In Indonesia, most of people embraces
Islam and give positive responses. Islam is a way of
life, which provides a complete set of rules for
human life including economic issues. As it is
known, economy is one of the factors driving the
growth of a country. According to Bank Indonesia

Despite of that, the assets of sharia banking has
reached Rp 179 trillion or precisely 4.4% compared
to the total assets of the national banking
(www.republika.co.id).
Rahn is one of the products found in Islamic
banks, sharia financing banks, and also sharia
pawnshops that recently enthused by the public. This
is because gold is a product that has increase value
every year. Gold’s increasing value could reach
160% every year or 30% annually. Based on data
from Bank Indonesia of December 2011, the number
of rahn mortgage customer reached 212.300 of the
portfolio total Rp 6.3 trillion (majalahgontor.net).
As in the process, rahn it is not only provided by
non-bank financial institutions or guarantee
institutions such as pawnshops (conventional), but
also. Sharia Rural Bank (BPRS) which become one
of the Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia,

with the growth of Islamic economics. One of BPRS
in Surabaya, namely PT. Bank Pembiayaan Rakyat
Syariah (BPRS) Karya Mugi Sentosa, located in the
southern part of Surabaya, offers a financing
program, rahn.
Related to that, Dewan Syariah Nasional (DSN)
issued Fatwa to manage the implementation of rahn,
to support its development as an Islamic principles.
It is embodied in Fatwa No. 25/DSN-MUI/III/2002

The Fatwa defines about rahn and gold rahn, as
well as the implementation procedure that must be

in the development of sharia institutions. That is a
differentiator between sharia financial institutions
and conventional financial institutions. According to

Unit, an independent business and independent
global survey headquartered in London, to no fewer
than 275 senior banking officials from various
countries on compliance systems and processes
concluded that the need for effective compliance
with firms engaged in The banking business today is

2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Islamic Financial Institutions
Soemitra (2010: 54-55) explains structure of the
system of Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia

Sharia Commercial Bank, Sharia Business Unit, and
Sharia Rural Bank. There are other sharia financial
institutions comprising capital markets, money
markets, insurance companies, pension funds,

Institution, Waqf Management Institute, and Baitul
Maal wat Tamwil (BMT).
Rahn
Rahn in Fiqh namely Ar-Rahn, is an agreement
to hold an items as a debt obligation. In arabic, Ar-
Rahn namely ats-tsubut wa ad-dawam which means
permanent and eternal, the meaning of permanent
and eternal is restraining the making of material
goods as bonds of debt (Ali, 2008:1).
Implementation of rahn should be easy and not
complicate the prospective customers who will use
rahn. Implementation of each transaction in a
financial institution is not separated by the
supervision of the Sharia Supervisory Board in each
financial institution.
2.2 Fatwa DSN Majelis Ulama
Indonesia
The application of rahn in Indonesia refers to the
legal basis established by the National Sharia
Council of the Indonesian Council of Ulama (DSN-
MUI) in Fatwa No: 25 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 Rahn
and also Fatwa No: 26 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 about
Rahn Gold. The fatwa explains the decisions that
Indonesian scholars have agreed on Rahn, the
decisions taken are:
Fatwa No: 25/DSN-MUI/III/2002
1. The underlying things about the right and duties
of murtahin and rahin. It is explained that
murtahin have rights to hold marhun until rahin
pay all off his debt.
2. Utilization of marhun by both parties. In
principle, marhun and its benefits belong to
rahin, also marhun cannot be transfered to
murtahin except with permission from rahin.
3. Maintenance and storage. Maintenance and
storage of marhun is a liability of rahin, but can
be transferred into obligation murtahin on mutual
agreement.
4. Regarding the charge, in determining the cost of
maintenance and storage shall not be based on
the amount of the borrowing cost.
5. Decision of marhun selling, the decision is made
when rahin cannot pay off its debt. However it
should not be directly sold, murtahin should
warn in advance that it is due. If rahin still
cannot pay off its debts, murtahin can sell
marhun in accordance with sharia principles that
is done auction sharia. The procedures of the
auction are used to pay off the debts of the
womb. If there is a residue, it will become the
right of the womb. However, if the amount
exchanged is less than what it is expected, the
rahin is still obliged to pay off its debt.
Fatwa No: 26/DSN-MUI/III/2002

the principle of rahn (Fatwa No: 25/DSN-
MUI/III/2002).
2. Fee and cost of storing goods (marhun) is borne
by rahin
3. Fee that mentioned above is based on the
expenditures that clearly required.
4. Cost of storing goods (marhun) is done based on
ijarah agreement.
Sharia Compliance
Sharia Compliance is an absolute requirement
that must be fulfilled by financial institutions
conducting business activities based on sharia
principles. Sharia Compliance is the fulfillment of
all Sharia principles in all activities undertaken as a
manifestation of the characteristics of the financial
institution itself, including in this case the Sharia
Rural Bank (BPRS). Shariah compliance is a major
prerequisite for the operation of Islamic financial
institutions (Ikatan Bankir Indonesia, 2014:359).

4 DISCUSSION
4.1 Discussion on Marhun Utilization
Marhun is a guarantee goods deposited by the
customer to the pawnbroker, which in this research
is PT BPRS Karya Mugi Sentosa. According to
Sudarsono (2004: 160) in general pawn goods must
meet several conditions, namely: ust be sellable,
must be a treasure that is not valuable, marhun
should be exploited by sharia, must be known
physical condition, and must be owned by rahin. PT.
BPRS Karya Mugi Sentosa has stipulated the
guarantee goods (marhun) which are allowed to be
guaranteed on the financing product of the gold
contract.
Based on Fatwa No. 25/DSN-MUI/III/2002 in
the first clause it is explained that "loans by
mortgaging goods as collateral in the form of
permissible debt rahn". As long as the contract takes
place marhun stored by PT. BPRS KMS is not
utilized or managed or invested by PT. Syariah
People's Financing Bank (BPRS) Karya Mugi
Sentosa. Utilization of marhun is permitted provided

idzā kāna marhūnan, wa alāldzī yarkabu
wayasrabu nafaqatu
(Hadith Nabi riwayat Jama’ah, except Muslim
dan al- Nasa’i, Nabi s.a.w.)
Based on Fatwa No. 25 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002
second item number two, has also been explained
that "Marhun and its benefits remain the property of
Rahin. In principle, marhun should not be exploited
by murtahin unless the permission of the rahin,
without reducing the value of marhun and its
utilization is just a substitute for maintenance and
maintenance costs ". According to the fatwa which
has been explained, PT BPRS Karya Mugi Sentosa
has implemented Shariah compliance in practice for
the use of marhun and has been in compliance with
the National Sharia Council Fatwa of the Indonesian
Ulema Council.
4.2 Discussion on Marhun
Maintenance and Storage
In the second article of the DSN No.25 / DSN-MUI /
III / 2002 number two explains that "Murtahin (the
recipient of goods) has the right to hold marhun
(goods) until all the debts of the rahin (who deliver
the goods) are paid off". Based on the fatwa, PT.
Sharia Rural Bank (BPRS) Karya Mugi Sentosa is
entitled to keep the customer's guarantee (marhun)
until the financing received by the customer is
settled.
In the second edition of the DSN No.25 / DSN-
MUI / III / 2002, the third number explains that
"Maintenance and storage of marhun is essentially
mandatory, but it can also be done by murtahin,
while the cost and maintenance of storage remain a
liability of rahin" and Fatwa DSN No.26 / DSN-
MUI / III / 2002 of the first item number two
explains that "The cost and the cost of storing goods
(marhun) is borne by the pawns (rahin)". Based on
the fatwa-fatwa, instead of because the BPRS has
stored marhun then PT. Sharia Rural Banks (BPRS)
Karya Mugi Sentosa charge fees based on ijarah
agreement but not burdensome for customers. The
customer pays the cost of the ijarah when it is paid
off.
Based on Fatwa DSN No.25/DSN-MUI/III/2002
second item number one and three also Fatwa
No.26/DSN-MUI/III/2002 first item number two,
PT. BPRS Karya Mugi Sentosa practically has
implemented Shariah compliance for the
maintenance and storage of marhun is in accordance
with the DSN-MUI.
4.3 Discussion of Marhun Cost
Cost determined by PT. BPRS Karya Mugi Sentosa
is the cost of taxation (admin fee). The fee is
payable before, and the cost of ijarah is paid when
the customer repay the financing. Fatwa DSN No.26
/ DSN-MUI / III / 2002 of the first item number
three has been explained that "Fees as intended are
based on real expenditures - real need". The cost of
taxation is a cost that is clearly needed. The taxation
fee is the administrative fee. It is paid at the
beginning implementation of rahn. The cost of
ijarah is the cost determined by PT. BPRS Karya
Mugi Sentosa based on the decision of PT. BPRS

implemented, there are some things to do. A week
before the maturity, PT. BPRS KMS must give

financing of the contract about the marching
agreement or sale if the rahin cannot pay off its debt.
Based on the financing experience of rahn
contract in PT. BPRS Karya Mugi Sentosa, during
the operation for approximately eight years, there
has never been a case for selling and auctioning of
