Q & A

What is the main difference between a conventional cooperative and a Shariah cooperative?

The main difference lies in the principles they follow. Conventional cooperatives operate based on legal frameworks such as the Indonesian Cooperative Law, while Shariah cooperatives follow Islamic principles, including the prohibition of interest (riba) and an emphasis on justice and equity.

How does the profit-sharing system work in a Shariah cooperative?

In a Shariah cooperative, members do not receive interest on their savings. Instead, the cooperative uses a profit-sharing model where returns are distributed fairly among members based on pre-agreed terms (often through an akad or contract).

What is the role of the Shariah Supervisory Board in a Shariah cooperative?

The Shariah Supervisory Board ensures that the cooperative adheres to Islamic principles. It is responsible for monitoring operations to prevent activities that conflict with Shariah law, such as interest-bearing transactions.

How do the principles of a conventional cooperative differ from those of a Shariah cooperative?

Conventional cooperatives emphasize principles like voluntary membership, democratic management, and equitable distribution of profits. In contrast, Shariah cooperatives focus on principles like justice, prohibition of riba (interest), and the belief that wealth is a trust from Allah.

What are the key ethical values that govern a Shariah cooperative?

A Shariah cooperative is guided by ethical values such as honesty (Sidik), commitment (Istiqomah), transparency (Tabligh), integrity (Amanah), creativity (Fathonah), care (Priya), and responsibility (Masuliah). These values ensure that operations are aligned with Islamic teachings.

Can a conventional cooperative function as a Zakat institution?

No, conventional cooperatives do not serve as Zakat institutions. They focus on business operations for the benefit of members, while Shariah cooperatives are encouraged to support Zakat as part of their operations.

What is the significance of the prohibition of riba (interest) in Shariah cooperatives?

The prohibition of riba is central to Shariah cooperatives, as it ensures fairness and equity in transactions. Instead of earning interest, members share profits and losses fairly, based on a partnership model rather than a lender-borrower relationship.

What is the difference in the product distribution system between conventional and Shariah cooperatives?

Conventional cooperatives offer loans with interest, where members must repay the loan with interest. In contrast, Shariah cooperatives provide products through profit-sharing arrangements (like Murabaha), where no interest is charged, and risks are shared.

How does the monitoring and supervision process differ between conventional and Shariah cooperatives?

Conventional cooperatives are monitored by oversight bodies that report to the Cooperative Department. Shariah cooperatives, however, are supervised by a Shariah Supervisory Board, ensuring adherence to Islamic principles, such as the prohibition of riba.

What are the advantages of choosing a Shariah cooperative over a conventional cooperative?

Shariah cooperatives align with Islamic ethical values and provide an opportunity for members to engage in financial activities that are free from interest (riba). This can be especially appealing to individuals seeking to live in accordance with Islamic principles.
