    Since the inauguration of Law No.21 Year 2008 re. Shariah Banking, the assets of shariah banking has grown to 267.944 billion Rupiah in August 2017. It meant that it is not only important to make a good and sound regulation on shariah banking but also its implementation according to the shariah banking concept. One among them is musharakah financing. Therefore the regulation and implementation of musharakah financing in Indonesia must comply with the concept of shariah banking.

This research is a normative legal research. It used secondary data, which included primary legal sources, secondary legal sources and tertiary legal sources. Data were collected through literature review and analysis was conducted using qualitative approach.
