Day by day the numbers of Bitcoins owners are increasing and as the time lapses, they also will face the death. In Perlis, Bitcoins is recognised as a wealth (mal) and subject to zakat by State Fatwa Committee of Perlis. Hence, this paper aims to discover the inheritability of bitcoin according to Shariah in Perlis. As a result, this study employed a qualitative research approach by interview in order to discover the inheritability of bitcoin as a mal according to Shariah. Purposive sampling was used in the study. The finding of this study indicated that the existing fatwa on bitcoin is silent on the inheritance ruling of bitcoin. The researcher urged that this inheritance ruling must be tabled and gazetted by the state fatwa committee of Perlis in order to ensure the continuity of bitcoin to the next generation. Therefore, this study has contributed in comprehensive Shariah views behind the permissibility of Bitcoin in Perlis and provides some important policy implication for the regulator and state fatwa committee of Perlis to fulfil the lacuna in the fatwa related to bitcoin.

In recent years, technological advances have grown so rapidly, including progress in the economic field. the existence of cryptocurrencies or digital money, provides a new alternative as a transaction tool, investment instrument or as a trading commodity. On the other hand, the legitimacy of using cryptocurrencies is still a matter of debate in various circles. Researchers want to study the use of cryptocurrencies with the sadd dzariah approach. This research is a quantitative research and is a library research. The data analysis technique used is descriptive-analytical with a normative juridical approach to Islamic law. The results of the study indicate that the use of cryptocurrencies in business transactions, as an investment instrument, and illegally traded commodities, is maysir and gharar.

To this date, technology has seen massive development and, it influences the economic field. The emergence of the metaverse has become an inevitable part of this progress. It serves as a digital world, wherein everyone is able carry out a vast array of activities, including economic transactions. The emergence of digital assets, that has encouraged serious discussion, is inseparable from Islamic law. One of these digital assets is the Non-Fungible Token (NFT). This digital asset is the focus of this study, specifically on for its posibility to become material guarantees. This article employs a qualitative study and presented descriptively through the perspective of Islamic law. The result of this study is that the pledged-object (marhūn) has certain primary conditions for it to be functional, namely: it is a property, it has value, it can be traded, its asset value is clearly known, and it is actually owned by the guarantor (rāhin). The concept of marhūn as a valuable object ultimately answers that NFT is included in the marhūn category. However, since NFTs do not stand alone if the transaction currency used in the metaverse is cryptocurrencies, al-rahn transactions using NFTs become less favourable considering Cyrptocurrency is deemed to be haram.
Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is one of the most popular digital assets traded by the global community. This phenomenon is increasingly popular with the news that Ghazali was able to earn billions of rupiah. The NFT phenomenon encourages researchers to carry out analyzes related to the law of transactions in it and its validity according to the fiqh mu'amalah of the four schools of thought. This study uses a literature study approach by collecting data and information related to NFT and the views of several scholars regarding the pillars of a sale and purchase contract (bay') which include: NFT as ma'qud 'alaih, cryptocurrency as tsaman or mal, seller and buyer, and shighat (contract). This research resulted in two findings. First, NFT is a mal in the fiqh mu'amalah review. NFTs are categorized as meaningful malls because they are useful for copyrighted works and can be fully owned (hiyazah). Second, NFT transactions are legally valid 'because they have fulfilled all the conditions and pillars of the sale and purchase contract (bay'). Cryptocurrency as a transaction tool in NFTs is legal and meets the requirements to be categorized as a mall and recognized as a hiwalah contract. The two actors (al-'aqidan) and shighat in NFT transactions have also met the conditions.

The phenomenon of buying and selling online continues to grow, especially in 2022, when Ghozali shocked the Indonesian people by selling 933 non-fungible token digital works for $1.5 billion on the OpenSea Online Market. But not all people respond, because everyone can sell other people's art, sell images that contain pornography, and commit fraud under the guise of investment. In Sharia economic law, on the other hand, the element of fraud and the sale of something that does not belong to him are prohibited. The mechanism of buying and selling non-fungible tokens on the OpenSea online market is discussed in this study, as well as how the law is based on Islamic economics.This type of research uses a qualitative approach by seeking direct data from parties involved in buying and selling non-fungible tokens on the Opensea online marketplaces, from journals, articles, books, and other sources. The theory of "al-mal" and "al-bai' is used to analyze this research using a qualitative deductive method. The results of the research show three mechanisms in the practice of buying and selling non-fungible tokens on the Opensea online marketplace, which include the creation, sale, and purchase of digital artwork, and most of them are carried out on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchain platforms. According to sharia economic law, when buying and selling non-fungible tokens on the Opensea online market is analyzed using the mall theory, the majority of Ulama argue that non-fungible tokens can be classified as malls, while some groups of followers of Imam Hanafi do not justify non-fungible tokens as malls because of their non-concrete nature. Meanwhile, if it is captured using the "bai' theory, the practice of buying and selling non-fungible tokens is not covered by sharia because, in practice, people can easily sell other people's digital artwork, sell images that contain pornographic elements, and are very vulnerable to involvement in non-fungible token sale scams such as forgery of digital artwork descriptions and investment scams. As for those who can avoid all these negative elements, then they are returned to the original law of bai', namely mubah.

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency that is widely accessible and the most sought after by investors working in the Cryptocurrency world. At the same time, the price of Bitcoin continues to fluctuate, raising concerns about inflation and monetary aggregates in Indonesia. Therefore, Bank Indonesia (BI) prohibits financial institutions in Indonesia from using cryptocurrencies as a means of payment or financial services. This is also supported by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) institution by prohibiting the use of cryptocurrencies in Indonesia. Apart from the policies of Bank Indonesia and the MUI, there are several factors that cause the use of cryptocurrencies to be prohibited in Indonesia, including having a negative impact on the economy and the environment.
