Makelar dalam Transaksi Ekonomi (Analisis Fatwa DSN MUI No. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 Tentang Akad Samsarah)

Abstract

Brokers in economic transactions are common jobs undertaken by society. However, in practice, brokers often pose problems, especially for consumers or buyers. It is not uncommon for buyers to find that the price set during the transaction is not the price set by the owner of the goods, but rather a price added by the broker. The significant price difference from the original price becomes a separate problem for the community.
