Penetapan harta asas pembayaran diat dalam konteks Malaysia

Abstract

Islam provides a unique two-pronged legal mechanism that is known as diyya. Diyya is not just a punishment for the offender in the form of a fine but also compensation for the victim. A certain amount of fine must be paid by the offender. Unlike summons, the compensation paid belongs to the victim and is not taken by the authorities. However, in the context of the implementation of diyya, the questions that arise are: who will bear the burden of this and what property can be used as a medium of payment? Hence, this article will describe the concept of diyya property in its implementation situation in Malaysia and the types of property that can be used for diyya payment. This article will also focus on the diyya rate and methods to set the rate in Malaysia. The methodology used is a library research method based on primary sources such as hadith and secondary sources from the collection of documentation such as books, articles, journals, working papers, internet sources, newspapers, and others. This article sums up the concept of main property in a country. In the context of Malaysia, it is the national currency which is the Malaysian Ringgit (RM). The ratio of the exchange of Dirham to RM transactions is applicable in Malaysia.
