Share transactions in the sharia capital market must comply with sharia principles. The aim of this research is to analyze the position of stocks that are used as an arena for speculation in the views of scholars, both classical scholars and contemporary scholars. This research is library research with a descriptive analysis method using a normative juridical approach. The research data analysis was carried out through three mechanisms, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that Based on the discussion above, it shows that in the view of the ulama it has been explained that speculative activities, Riba, Gharar and Maysir (gambling) have been prohibited by Islamic law which was issued as a regulation. One of them is setting a minimum holding period for shares. With these restrictions, shares cannot be traded at any time, so there is little incentive to profit from price changes alone. However, finding the right retention period can be difficult. These restrictions can limit speculation, but also reduce the liquidity of capital market investments. Therefore, it is very possible that a rational investor needs quick liquidity but cannot sell shares because the required minimum holding period has not been met.

Financial conglomerates are considered to have a significant role in a country’s economy. A well-developed financial conglomerate will bring economy’s positive growth. However, when one collapses, systemic risk cannot be avoided to the financial system. The study conducts a comparative analysis of financial conglomerates/financial holding companies policies in six countries: Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. Furthermore, the research examines the literature review method of financial conglomerates criteria, structure, synergy, intragroup transactions, and data protection. In general, the requirements of financial conglomerates within research sample countries align with the Joint Forum. Indonesia is still developing the financial conglomerate’s minimum assets and members. Singapore is more concerned with a portion of assets, capital, liabilities, or income, while Taiwan regulates the total assets and paid-in capital. Malaysia regulates strictly with specific minimum ownership, while Australia focuses more on transaction materiality. The synergy among members of financial conglomerates may improve efficiency—however, the intragroup transactions raise systemic risk. Consumer data protection should be considered when financial conglomerates conduct cross-selling. From this study, policymakers should enhance their policies so that financial conglomerates take more advantage of generating the country’s economy while managing challenges to the financial system’s stability.
