But, personally, he said these online loans have more harm and harm to people, so this can become haram.
"Moreover, the system is interesting, the interest is chained. It's an interesting system, sometimes violence is used when collecting it, that's what happened", he said.
He said, internally at MUI there has been no discussion about this online loan. However, if it disturbs the public, the MUI can discuss it further.
"If it disturbs the public, perhaps without the community's request, MUI can issue a fatwa. Because there are 3 models for issuing a fatwa, proactive, responsive, and anticipatory", he said.
