Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the consequences of improper sequence (tartib) in Tawarruq financing contract. This research adopted primary, and secondary data through library research. The study has found the application of sequencing in validating the Islamic financing contracts especially in the Tawarruq contract is beneficial as it ensures the success of Islamic Banking institutions as there are consequences due to improper sequence of the Tawarruq Financing contract. The findings are expected to serve as a reference point for other researchers, academics, students, and especially to Islamic Banking Industries. In order to carry out the roles and responsibilities effectively, the players and the regulators of Islamic Banks were encouraged to refine the local Islamic financing system into a better platform in the future as an outcome of this research.
