Abstract

The rapid expansion of blockchain technology and digital cryptocurrency assets has generated significant debate within Islamic finance, particularly regarding their compliance with the objectives of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. This study critically examines the role of blockchain technology in the protection of wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl) within digital cryptocurrency assets using a maqāṣid-oriented analytical framework. Employing a qualitative normative–conceptual approach grounded in Jasser Auda’s systems theory of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, the study analyzes how core blockchain characteristics transparency, cryptographic security, immutability, and distributed ledger architecture contribute to wealth protection while also identifying inherent risks and limitations. The findings indicate that blockchain can support ḥifẓ al-māl by enhancing transaction accountability, safeguarding ownership, and mitigating fraud. However, such contributions are neither inherent nor unconditional, as they depend on governance structures, regulatory alignment, and ethical usage frameworks. The study further distinguishes between blockchain as a neutral technological infrastructure and cryptocurrency as a financial instrument that may generate Shariah concerns due to volatility, gharar, and speculative excess. By articulating this distinction, the research advances a more proportionate and critically grounded maqāṣid-based assessment of blockchain, contributing to contemporary discourse on Islamic digital finance and offering a conceptual foundation for future regulatory and technological development.

Abstract

This study examines the link between rising deforestation in Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra and the ecological vulnerability that intensified hydrometeorological disasters in late 2025. The purpose of this research is to analyze deforestation trends, assess their connection to the ecological disasters that occurred, and explore these phenomena through an Islamic perspective. The study employs a qualitative method using a library research design, drawing on scientific sources, official reports, and secondary data on forest-cover loss and disaster documentation. The findings indicate a consistent increase in deforestation from 2019 to 2024, while cumulative forest loss from 2001 to 2024 has reached approximately 3.3 million hectares, significantly weakening the ecological capacity of forests to maintain hydrological balance and soil stability. The Islamic analysis reveals that excessive exploitation contradicts the principles of amanah (trust), mīzān (balance), and the prohibitions against fasād (corruption) and isrāf (excessiveness), demonstrating that environmental destruction carries moral and spiritual dimensions. This study concludes that forest management in Sumatra requires an approach grounded not only in ecological and economic considerations but also in Islamic values that emphasize stewardship, moderation, and sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically assess the conformity of th fatwa’s norms with the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and to analyze the views of Imam al-Ghazali and Imam al-Shāṭhibī as the epistemological foundations of the concept of maṣlaḥah. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature study method involving the fatwa text, fiqh mu‘āmalah literature, the thoughts of Imam al-Ghazali and Imam al-Shāṭhibī, books, journal articles, and studies related to hajj fund management, maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and Islamic public economics. Data analysis is conducted using the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework. The findings indicate that DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 122/2018 on Hajj Fund Management aligns with maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly in terms of ḥifẓ al-māl, trustworthiness (amānah), and public welfare (maṣlaḥah ‘āmmah). Al-Ghazali’s perspective emphasizes the prevention of potential harm, usury (ribā), and uncertainty (gharar), while al-Shāṭhibī underscores the balance between individual and collective welfare within the framework of ḍarūriyyāt–ḥājiyyāt–taḥsīniyyāt. This study provides a maqāṣid-based understanding by linking it to the analysis of contemporary fatwas. It is expected to offer recommendations for strengthening hajj fund governance to make it more trustworthy, transparent, and oriented toward the long-term welfare of pilgrims.

Abstract

The legal view on gold savings from the perspective of DSN-MUI and Shaykh Wahbah Zuhayli has basic similarities, namely from the nash hadith, but differs in the legal istinbat on the nas. This research aims to uncover the legal review of gold investment from the perspective of DSN-MUI and Shaykh Wahbah Zuhayli. The research uses qualitative methods and data collection uses documentation techniques to be further analyzed descriptively -critically on the arguments of both parties about gold investment. This research shows the view of MUI that it allows gold investment with istidlal that in the current context gold has changed not as a means of transaction but has been transformed as sil'ah (valuable goods). Meanwhile, according to Wahbah Zuhaili, it is the view that gold savings should not be based on the textual understanding of the hadith because gold is a usury item.

Abstract

Praktik gadai sawah masih menjadi mekanisme pembiayaan yang umum digunakan oleh petani di wilayah pedesaan ketika menghadapi kebutuhan dana yang mendesak. Meskipun berfungsi sebagai solusi likuiditas, praktik ini sering kali melahirkan relasi ekonomi yang timpang antara pemilik lahan dan pemberi modal, sehingga aspek kesejahteraan sosial petani cenderung terabaikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana nilai-nilai Maqasid Syariah berperan dalam menjaga keseimbangan antara kepentingan ekonomi dan kepentingan sosial dalam praktik gadai sawah, sekaligus merumuskan model konseptual pembiayaan berbasis maqasid yang lebih berkeadilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif analitis melalui pengumpulan data primer berupa wawancara dan observasi lapangan, serta data sekunder dari literatur fikih muamalah dan kajian Maqasid Syariah. Analisis dilakukan dengan menempatkan perlindungan harta (ḥifẓ al-mal), keadilan (‘adl), dan kemaslahatan sebagai indikator utama evaluasi praktik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai Maqasid Syariah berfungsi sebagai kerangka normatif yang efektif dalam menyeimbangkan orientasi keuntungan dan tanggung jawab sosial, sepanjang terdapat transparansi akad, proporsionalitas pemanfaatan lahan, dan ketiadaan dominasi sepihak. Penelitian ini merumuskan model pembiayaan yang mengintegrasikan akad rahn dengan skema kemitraan produktif agar praktik gadai sawah tidak hanya sah secara fikih, tetapi juga adil dan maslahat secara sosial ekonomi.

Abstract

The economic empowerment of the ummah is one of the key aspects in enhancing social welfare and the prosperity of Muslim communities. Productive zakat serves as a strategic instrument in realizing this empowerment. Contemporary fatwas issued by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) and the National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI) provide legal legitimacy for utilizing zakat as capital for productive economic activities. However, analyses of these fatwas from the perspective of Maqashid Sharia remain limited, resulting in a suboptimal understanding of the Sharia objectives in managing productive zakat. This study aims to examine strategies for the economic empowerment of the ummah through productive zakat, using contemporary fatwa analysis based on the Maqashid Sharia approach. The research employs a qualitative method with content analysis of MUI/DSN-MUI fatwa documents related to productive zakat. The Maqashid Sharia framework is used to assess the contribution of these fatwas to the economic welfare (maslahah) of zakat beneficiaries (mustahik). The findings show that the fatwas on productive zakat explicitly support the realization of Maqashid Sharia, particularly in the aspects of hifz al-mal, hifz al-nafs, and hifz al-nasl. The resulting empowerment strategies include strengthening Islamic economic literacy, optimizing productive investment of zakat funds, and providing entrepreneurial mentoring for mustahik. This study affirms that the Maqashid Sharia approach reinforces the role of fatwas as adaptive legal instruments capable of generating public benefit in the economic empowerment of the ummah. Keywords: Productive Zakat, Contemporary Fatwas, Economic Empowerment, Maqashid Sharia.

Abstract

The development of contemporary Islamic finance requires the innovation of instruments that are not only compliant with sharia but also inclusive, sustainable, and aligned with the principles of maqāṣid al-sharīʿa to address modern socio-economic challenges. This study aims to examine DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 131/2019 on sukuk waqf as a manifestation of progressive social fiqh within the architecture of modern Islamic finance, particularly in articulating and operationalizing maqāṣid objectives. A qualitative-descriptive method with a normative approach is employed, utilizing document analysis of the fatwa and interpreting it through the maqāṣid frameworks of Abu Zahrah and Abdul Majid al-Najjar. The findings indicate that sukuk waqf represents a hybrid financial instrument that integrates the philanthropic nature of waqf with the structured mechanisms of Islamic capital markets, while reflecting key maqāṣid dimensions such as individual development, justice, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the fatwa demonstrates the role of DSN-MUI as an institutional ijtihād authority capable of synthesizing classical jurisprudence with contemporary financial needs. These findings imply that maqāṣid al-sharīʿa serves as a critical normative framework for designing and evaluating Islamic financial instruments that are value-oriented and socially responsive, while also highlighting the potential for broader application of sukuk waqf across various socio-economic sectors. ABSTRAK - Rekonstruksi Fiqh Sosial dalam Keuangan Islam Kontemporer: Analisis Maqashid atas Fatwa DSN-MUI tentang Sukuk Wakaf. Perkembangan keuangan Islam kontemporer menuntut inovasi instrumen yang tidak hanya sesuai dengan prinsip syariah, tetapi juga inklusif, berkelanjutan, dan berorientasi pada maqashid al-sharia guna menjawab tantangan sosial-ekonomi modern. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis Fatwa DSN-MUI No. 131/2019 tentang sukuk wakaf sebagai manifestasi fiqh sosial progresif dalam arsitektur keuangan Islam modern, khususnya dalam merepresentasikan dan mengoperasionalkan tujuan-tujuan maqashid. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif dengan pendekatan normatif melalui analisis dokumen fatwa serta interpretasi menggunakan kerangka maqashid Abu Zahrah dan Abdul Majid al-Najjar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sukuk wakaf merupakan instrumen keuangan hibrida yang mengintegrasikan karakter filantropi wakaf dengan mekanisme terstruktur pasar modal syariah, sekaligus mencerminkan dimensi utama maqashid seperti pembinaan individu, keadilan, kohesi sosial, dan keberlanjutan lingkungan. Selain itu, fatwa ini menegaskan peran DSN-MUI sebagai lembaga ijtihad kelembagaan yang mampu mensinergikan warisan fiqh klasik dengan kebutuhan keuangan kontemporer. Temuan ini mengimplikasikan bahwa maqashid al-sharia berfungsi sebagai kerangka normatif penting dalam perancangan dan evaluasi instrumen keuangan Islam yang berorientasi pada nilai dan kemaslahatan, serta membuka peluang pengembangan sukuk wakaf di berbagai sektor sosial-ekonomi.

Abstract

The rapid development of financial technology has brought electronic money (e-money) into modern payment systems as a new phenomenon. However, the absence of explicit textual provisions in classical Islamic jurisprudence creates a legal vacuum that requires methodological resolution. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research methodology, analyzing primary and secondary sources on the al-'urf doctrine and electronic money regulations in Indonesia. The analysis reveals that electronic money fulfills four conditions required for al-'urf to serve as a valid legal source: (1) it has been practiced continuously and widely accepted by the majority of Indonesian society; (2) the practice preceded formal legal determination; (3) it is transparent and free from ambiguity; (4) it does not contradict Islamic sacred texts (nash syara'). DSN-MUI Fatwa No. 116/DSN-MUI/IX/2017 on sharia-compliant electronic money confirms this position by grounding its legal reasoning in the fiqh maxim that customary practice carries the same legal weight as explicit sharia provisions. Electronic money is permissible under Islamic law when conducted through sharia-compliant platforms, as established by the al-'urf methodological framework. This finding implies that al-'urf remains a dynamic and applicable legal instrument for addressing contemporary economic innovations not explicitly covered by classical fiqh texts.
