Abstract

This study aims to analyze sharia principles in the practice of loans and debts to minimize bankruptcy cases among the public. Some elements in sharia may have an impact on changing the behavior and attitude of debtors. First, sharia prohibits individuals from taking loans for luxury goods although this is permissible in sharia. Second, people are urged to be careful in spending their money and be careful not to give in to lust. Lastly, there is genuine concern within sharia for the repayment of loans and debts. In addition, sharia also advises creditors to extend the repayment period without charging interest if the debtor is in trouble. For Islamic financial institutions, Sharia regulates profit and loss sharing contracts. Furthermore, various types of charity, for example zakat, alms, and waqf, can be used in Muslim societies to protect debtors from bankruptcy. This study adds new knowledge in Islamic financial literacy, which will contribute to improving people's financial well-being.

Abstract

The introduction of cryptocurrencies into Islamic finance raises critical Shariah issues that require systematic evaluation through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, specifically ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of wealth) and darʾ al-mafāsid (prevention of harm). This study conducts an empirical legal analysis by examining how risks and uncertainties prevent cryptocurrencies from functioning as Shariah-compliant money and analyses the conditions or regulations that could enable Shariah-compliant cryptocurrency transactions and develop Shariah parameters. Focusing on the Malaysian context, the study conducts qualitative interviews with 12 experts, including Shariah scholars, regulators, academics, and fintech practitioners. The methodology provides an in-depth examination of this multifaceted topic and seeks to bridge the gap between Shariah, finance, and new technologies. The findings highlight major concerns such as gharar (uncertainty), maysir (speculation), lack of intrinsic value, and potential involvement in unlawful activities. Additional challenges include decentralisation, lack of transparency, weak public awareness, and contradictory fatwas. To address these issues, the study proposes a multi-level framework including Shariah certification, stablecoin development, asset protection mechanisms, risk mitigation tools, and institutional collaboration between regulators, scholars, and fintech developers. These findings contribute to the discourse on adapting new technologies to Islamic finance while providing practical guidance for policy development in Malaysia’s dual financial system. Masuknya mata uang kripto ke dalam sistem keuangan Islam menimbulkan sejumlah persoalan syariah yang krusial dan memerlukan evaluasi sistematis melalui perspektif maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, khususnya ḥifẓ al-māl (perlindungan harta) dan darʾ al-mafāsid (pencegahan kemudaratan). Penelitian ini melakukan analisis hukum empiris dengan mengkaji bagaimana risiko dan ketidakpastian menghambat mata uang kripto untuk berfungsi sebagai alat tukar yang sesuai dengan prinsip syariah, serta menganalisis kondisi atau regulasi yang dapat memungkinkan transaksi mata uang kripto yang patuh syariah sekaligus merumuskan parameter syariah yang relevan. Dengan berfokus pada konteks Malaysia, penelitian ini melaksanakan wawancara kualitatif terhadap 12 orang ahli yang terdiri atas ulama syariah, regulator, akademisi, dan praktisi teknologi finansial (fintech). Metodologi ini memungkinkan kajian yang mendalam terhadap isu yang bersifat multidimensional serta berupaya menjembatani kesenjangan antara prinsip syariah, sistem keuangan, dan perkembangan teknologi baru. Temuan penelitian menyoroti berbagai persoalan utama, seperti gharar (ketidakpastian), maysir (spekulasi), ketiadaan nilai intrinsik, serta potensi keterlibatan dalam aktivitas yang tidak sah menurut hukum. Tantangan tambahan meliputi sifat desentralisasi, kurangnya transparansi, rendahnya tingkat literasi publik, serta adanya fatwa yang saling bertentangan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini mengusulkan suatu kerangka kerja bertingkat yang mencakup sertifikasi syariah, pengembangan stablecoin, mekanisme perlindungan aset, instrumen mitigasi risiko, serta kolaborasi kelembagaan antara regulator, ulama, dan pengembang fintech. Temuan ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan wacana adaptasi teknologi baru dalam keuangan Islam sekaligus memberikan panduan praktis bagi perumusan kebijakan dalam sistem keuangan ganda Malaysia.

Abstract

Various bioactive properties, including antioxidant and antineoplastic properties, are extracted from plant species. Oldenlandia corymbosa Linn. is an important medicinal plant that grows as a weedy annual herb throughout Bangladesh. However, no previous studies have reported the antineoplastic and antioxidant potentials of Oldenlandia corymbosa leaves. Based on this fact, this investigation evaluated the methanol extract of Oldenlandia corymbosa Linn. leaves (MELO) for its antioxidant and antineoplastic properties. Different in vitro experiments were applied here to measure the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of MELO. Functional assays were utilized to measure the antineoplastic activity of MELO against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) in mice. MELO contains rich phenolic compounds, flavonoids, flavonol, and proanthocyanidin. In vitro antioxidant assay, MELO exhibited significant ABTS▪ (IC50: 98.07 μg/mL) and DPPH (IC50: 151.21μg/mL) radicals scavenging activity when compared with the positive control (Ascorbic acid). MELO also showed total antioxidant and ferrous-reducing properties. In the antineoplastic study, dose-dependent reduction in viable EAC cell count was observed in MELO-treated groups. In contrast, treatment with MELO significantly (P<0.05) increased the mean survival time and life span (65.21%) of EAC-bearing mice. The altered hematological parameters of mice of the EAC control group were restored to the normal level by treating MELO. MELO also induced the apoptotic features observed in the morphology of DAPI-stained EAC cells. As identified by GC/MS analysis, the Phytochemical profiles of MELO are also consistent with their antioxidant, antineoplastic and apoptotic properties. Thus, the methanol extract of Oldenlandia corymbosa leaves (MELO) has the potential to consider a good source of antioxidants and antineoplastic agents.
