Bitcoin, Investment, Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, Ḥifẓ al-MālAbstract
Bitcoin is the world’s first cryptocurrency, created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Initially designed as a currency, Bitcoin has increasingly been used as a speculative investment instrument in recent years. The growing popularity of Bitcoin investment among investors has raised questions about its compatibility with the principles of maqasid syariah in general and the concept of ḥifẓ al-māl in particular. This study aims to analyze the concept of ḥifẓ al-māl from the perspective of maqasid syariah in relation to Bitcoin investment. Ḥifẓ al-māl is one of the five essential objectives of maqasid syariah, emphasizing financial security, asset protection, avoidance of excessive risk, fraud and other non-compliant elements. This study adopts a qualitative approach through a literature review to assess the suitability of Bitcoin investment within the framework of ḥifẓ al-māl and maqasid syariah. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources. The data were than analyzed based on the established themes. The findings indicate that Bitcoin investment carries both high profit potential and significant risk. Furthermore, ensuring that Bitcoin investment fully aligns with maqasid syariah, particularly in the context of ḥifẓ al-māl, present considerable challenges due to elements that may lead to both benefit and harm.
Contribution: This study makes a significant contribution in legal, economics and social aspects. From a legal perspective, it proposes a comprehensive guideline for Bitcoin investment. Economically, it enhances understanding of Bitcoin’s potential as an alternative investment within the framework of ḥifẓ al-māl. Socially, it promotes awareness of syariah-compliant financial management within community.
