Abstract

In today's digital era, online fraud and smartphone hacking have become widespread threats, compromising personal security and privacy. This article explores the concept of Hifdzul Mal (protection of wealth) in Islamic law and its relevance in safeguarding personal data and assets from cybercrimes. The purpose of this study is to examine various online fraud schemes, such as WhatsApp scams and fake job offers, and to identify the signs of smartphone hacking, while analyzing these issues within the framework of Islamic legal principles. Using a descriptive methodology, the article outlines preventive measures to protect against these risks. The findings emphasize that Islamic teachings strongly advocate for the preservation of wealth and personal information, prohibiting fraud and theft. This study contributes to understanding how the principle of Hifdzul Mal can be applied to modern digital threats, encouraging ethical behavior and ensuring personal security in the virtual world.
