Abstract

The rapid development of the global digital economy has introduced new forms of wealth, particularly cryptocurrency, which challenge traditional constructs of Islamic economic law, including zakat. This study aims to analyze the legal position of zakat on cryptocurrency in Indonesia within the context of global digital economic trends and to formulate a maqāṣid al-sharīʿah-based reconstruction of zakat applicable to digital assets. A normative-comparative research methodology was employed, combining doctrinal analysis of Islamic legal texts, national regulations, fatwas from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Egypt, as well as scholarly literature indexed in Scopus. The study systematically examines regulatory gaps, jurisprudential interpretations, and institutional practices concerning cryptocurrency zakat. Findings indicate that while cryptocurrency conceptually qualifies as zakatable wealth if conditions of ownership, nisab, haul, and lawful source are fulfilled, Indonesia currently lacks explicit normative provisions, resulting in legal vacuum. Malaysia demonstrates an adaptive and operational approach, allowing zakat payment through Shariah-compliant cryptocurrency under state fatwas, whereas Egypt maintains a restrictive stance, though acknowledging zakat obligations if criteria are met. The study concludes that a maqāṣid al-sharīʿah-based reconstruction integrating fiqh principles, national regulation, and digital mechanisms is essential for strengthening Indonesia’s national zakat system. Recommendations include revising national zakat law, establishing technical guidelines for digital asset valuation and reporting, and implementing blockchain-based platforms to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective wealth redistribution.

Abstract

This article examines the determination of the status of illegitimate children from the perspective of legal pluralism based on Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010. The decision reinterprets Article 43 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, by recognizing the civil relationship between illegitimate children with their biological father if it can be scientifically proven. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach, complemented by a socio-legal approach. The results of the study indicate that the Constitutional Court decision represents a shift in the national legal paradigm from a formal approach to substantive protection of children's rights. However, in Islamic law, the lineage of illegitimate children remains only linked to the mother because the validity of the lineage is determined by a valid marriage contract. This difference demonstrates a form of combative legal pluralism between state law and Islamic law that interact within the framework of the Indonesian legal system.
