The Approach of Jurists to Types of Money

Abstract

In order to understand the new types of currency emerging today, it is crucial to know the attitudes of jurists toward the new currencies they encountered in their own times. This article aims to provide a perspective for evaluating today's currency types by examining the approach of jurists to different types of currency. The methods followed by jurists in response to new events and situations serve as an important guide in determining the attitude that should be adopted in the face of contemporary phenomena. The study examines the perspectives of classical and contemporary jurists on the concept of money. With the idea that it could broaden the scope of the research, a detailed examination of the history of money has not been included; instead, the focus is on the types of money most frequently evaluated in classical fiqh works and contemporary studies. Cryptocurrencies and virtual currencies, which have emerged as a new phenomenon today, were excluded from the scope of the study on the grounds that they could be a major research topic. Within this framework, dinars, dirhams, fels, maghshush, paper, and recorded currencies were examined in detail.
