This research aims to determine the Qardh contract transaction mechanism on Shopee PayLater following Sharia economic law, legal uniformity in prohibiting PayLater, the Shopee Paylater transaction mechanism for online buying and selling using Qardh contracts, and the Shopee Paylater payment system in installments without a credit card.
