Abstract
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.
比特币持有者的数量每天都在增加,随着时间的推移,他们也将面临死亡。在珀斯,比特币被认定为一种财富(mal),并受珀斯国家法特瓦委员会(State Fatwa Committee of Perlis)的天课(zakat)约束。因此,本文旨在根据伊斯兰教法发现比特币的可继承性。因此,本研究采用访谈的定性研究方法,以发现根据伊斯兰教法比特币作为mal的可继承性。本研究采用目的性抽样。本研究的发现表明,现有的关于比特币的法特瓦对比特币的继承裁决保持沉默。研究人员敦促,这项继承裁决必须由波斯州法特瓦委员会提交并在宪报上公布,以确保比特币对下一代的连续性。因此,本研究对比特币在珀斯允许性背后的伊斯兰教法观点做出了全面的贡献,并为珀斯监管机构和州法特瓦委员会弥补与比特币相关的法特瓦中的空白提供了一些重要的政策启示。
