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

Artikel ini bertujuan merekonstruksi kerangka kerja Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)berbasis Maqasid Syariah dalam konteks Keuangan Sosial Islam (Islamic Social Finance/ISF). Model ESGkonvensional dinilai masih berorientasi pada logika kapitalistik dan bersifat value-neutral, sehingga belumsepenuhnya selaras dengan dimensi teleologis syariah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatifkonseptualmelalui studi literatur kritis terhadap teori ESG, Maqasid Syariah, dan praktik keuangan sosial Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi Maqasid Syariah, meliputi hifz al-din, hifz al-nafs, hifz al-‘aql, hifz al-nasl, dan hifz al-mal, dapat memperluas dimensi ESG dari sekadar manajemen risiko menjadi kerangka pembangunan berkeadilan dan berorientasi falah. Artikel ini menawarkan model ESG berbasis Maqasid yang bersifat normatif-transformatif dan memberikan implikasi teoretis bagi pengembangan Islamic Moral Economy serta kebijakan kelembagaan zakat dan wakaf berkelanjutan
