The results of this study is expected to give insight into the developing youth entrepreneur, thus, assisting the government in formulation policies for the development of youth entrepreneur specifically involved in micro SMEs.

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.

The first fundamental in Islam is that all things created by the almighty Allah s.w.t. are permissible or halal, except those that are explicitly prohibited in the Holy Quran or hadith. Another interesting concept closely connected with the halal concept is the safety and quality products and conducts better known as toyyiban. Hence, the halal concept should include toyyiban, or the better terms are Halalan Toyyiban, which can be translated as permissible and wholesomeness Meanwhile, the Halal industry is defined as an industry that produces and offer good quality products and services which under Sharia law. Sharia law is the law that governs Muslims' everyday conducts. The Halal industry includes sectors such as food, cosmetics, ingredients, pharmaceutical, chemicals, livestock, logistics, tourism, and most notably the Islamic finance and banking sector Halal exports are growing steadily while the performance is still very far from the targeted growth. Thus, an understanding of the determinants of Halal export flows is essential. This study aims to investigate the nexus between Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Muslim population, Halal Certificate, and distance of Halal export. The method employed in this study is the Qualitative method. Content analysis is formed to prove the relationship between those independent variables with Halal export.

Global economic challenges have forced the majority of youth to become self-employent. As such, being an entrepreneur is one of its branches. However, to start entrepreneurship, these young entrepreneurs need to be assisted in some areas especially financial. Regarding to this matter, the significance of this study is to examine the development of Malaysia’s economic growth through the youth entrepreneurship support system (Financial Assistance) for the period of 2010 until 2019. In addition, this study also will look at both the long run and short run effect of Financial Assistance on economic growth. This study will employ the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing approach for Cointegration and the Error Correction Model (ECM) for short-term relationship. All the variables will be test for the stationarity of the series at all level. Through this research, hopefully an effective model of Financial Assistance in Malaysia can be proposed in order to enhance the development of economic growth through youth entrepreneurship.
