Eko Zulfikar, Nora Ria Retnasih

Abstract


This article explains cryptocurrencies as investment assets and economic transactions according to the Qur'an, where the interpretation analysis is carried out based on several books of Ahkâm exegesis. By using thematic methods and content analysis, it can be concluded that: First, cryptocurrency is a virtual currency created with cryptography technology so it is difficult to imitate and has absolute privacy. This cryptocurrency in the Indonesian context includes a virtual currency that is prohibited, as emphasized by Bank Indonesia regulation Number 19/12/PBI/2017 Article 8 paragraph 2. Second, cryptocurrency according to the Qur'an is a sale and purchase that is forbidden by Islamic law. and assets obtained from the sale and purchase, including property that is vanity (haram). This refers to several interpretations of mufasir a¥kâm Exegesis which mention parts of how to get the vanity property – among them – such as gharar (unclear) and maysir (gambling). Cryptocurrency can be categorized among the two types of vanity assets because it is considered unclear (gharar) its legality as an investment asset and a tool for economic transactions. Meanwhile, the fluctuating level is also too high so it is prone to fraud and causes losses to one party as gambling (maysir).
