Abstract
Tawarruq was introduced in Malaysia as an alternative to controversial bayʻ al-ʻῑnah. However, the second type of
tawarruq which is organized tawarruq was disputed by among scholars. The opponents claimed that the
implementation of organized tawarruq is not complying Shariah requirements. The introduction of airtime credit as
an underlying asset in tawarruq transaction by Sedania As Salam Capital Sdn Bhd (Sedania) is seems to neutralize
the argumentation. Hence, this study aimed to review the implementation of tawarruq in personal financing product
using airtime credit at Sedania’s first client which is RHB Islamic Bank (RHBIB). Interview sessions with the
representatives of Sedania and RHBIB will be held in collecting the information of the modus operandi and also
using the literature review in studying the tawarruq concept. The study found that choosing Sedania as a platform in
doing tawarruq transaction by using airtime credit as the commodity is the best solution in personal financing
product. However, the consumption of this underlying asset in bigger market such as corporate banking and treasury
should be considered and more research about this are suggested.
