Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the exchange of cryptocurrency for fiat money through the application of qiyas (analogical reasoning) within the perspectives of the four Islamic schools of jurisprudence, focusing on cryptocurrency's compliance with Sharia economic principles. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework centers on Islamic legal concepts, specifically the principles of justice, honesty, and the prohibition of riba (usury), gharar (excessive uncertainty), and maisir (gambling). It examines how cryptocurrency aligns with these principles across the four major Islamic jurisprudential schools. Literature review: The literature review explores classical and contemporary scholarly works on qiyas methodologies and their application to digital currency transactions. It covers both Islamic jurisprudence regarding money and modern discussions on cryptocurrency's role in global finance and economics. Methods: A descriptive qualitative methodology with a literature review approach is employed to analyze the academic debates surrounding cryptocurrency. The study examines various scholarly sources discussing the application of qiyas to cryptocurrency transactions. Results: The study concludes that cryptocurrency is impermissible (haram) in Islamic law due to its failure to meet the essential characteristics of money as defined within the four Islamic jurisprudential schools. It also highlights how cryptocurrency contradicts key Sharia economic principles. Implications: The findings provide insight into the broader discourse on the permissibility of cryptocurrency in Islamic finance and offer a basis for future research and discussions on the integration of digital currencies within Sharia-compliant financial systems. Novelty: This study contributes to the academic debate by applying qiyas to the analysis of cryptocurrency, an emerging area within Islamic finance, and provides a clear verdict on its non-compliance with Sharia law.

Abstract

Oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing) has emerged as a transformative reproductive technology, yet its ethical and legal standing remains contested in Muslim-majority societies where reproductive decisions are deeply embedded in Islamic normative frameworks. This article examines contemporary Islamic jurisprudential responses to egg freezing through a cross-institutional analysis of scholarly discourse on fatwas and classical fiqh positions from major authorities including the International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA), the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), and national fatwa committees in Indonesia and Malaysia. Employing a qualitative, library-based methodology, the study evaluates the compatibility of egg freezing with the foundational objectives of Islamic family law, particularly the preservation of lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl), the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), and the safeguarding of human dignity (karāmah al-insān). Findings reveal an emerging juristic consensus permitting medically indicated egg freezing within a valid marital relationship, while social egg freezing remains deeply contested due to concerns over lineage ambiguity, marital continuity, and potential misuse following divorce or spousal death. This study contributes that a maqāṣid al-sharī'ah framework offers the most coherent normative basis for contemporary ijtihād on reproductive technologies, and concludes with recommendations for developing adaptive Islamic legal governance that upholds ethical integrity while accommodating responsible reproductive autonomy in an era of rapid biotechnological advancement.
