The purpose of this study is to find issues related to Sharia debt-based crowdfunding as a financial service institution that is subject to Sharia principles in crowdfunding regulations in Indonesia. This research is normative juridical research that uses secondary data as research material, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that no regulation specifically regulates Sharia debt-based crowdfunding in Indonesia.

Sharia debt-based crowdfunding must be regulated to protect consumers, both preventive and repressive protection as a manifestation of the rule of law principle adopted by Indonesia.
