Sharia hospitals integrate Islamic values into healthcare governance through the implementation of sharia contracts as the foundation of legal, managerial, and operational relationships. Sharia contracts function not only in financial transactions but also in regulating interactions among hospitals, patients, healthcare professionals, suppliers, and other stakeholders. This article aims to analyze the role of sharia contracts in supporting hospital governance from the perspective of Islamic economic law. The study employs normative legal research with a qualitative descriptive approach through the analysis of legal documents, regulations, fatwas, and relevant literature. The findings indicate that ijarah, baiʿ, wakalah, wakalah bil ujrah, mudharabah, musyarakah, and tabarruʿ contracts provide an appropriate legal framework for hospital operations in accordance with sharia principles. Their implementation requires contractual clarity, mutual consent, justice, transparency, adequate documentation, and effective supervision. The analysis demonstrates that sharia contracts serve not only as contractual instruments but also as the foundation of governance that promotes sharia compliance, institutional accountability, stakeholder protection, and the enhancement of healthcare service quality in sharia hospitals.
