Ingin Simpan Emas Secara Halal?

Bagi peminat fizikal emas yang berhasrat membuat simpanan masa hadapan di dalam bentuk fizikal emas secara halal, Alhamadulillah kali ini mereka telah mempunyai jalan. Sebuah bank Islam dengan jayanya telah berjaya melancarkan Akaun simpanan dan pelaburan emas mereka yang telah juga disahkan dari sudut kontrak dan operasinya mematuhi hukum Shariah.

Akaun ini sesungguhnya boleh berfungsi sebagai simpanan untuk masa hadapan atau juga pelaburan di waktu memerlukan. Ia amat baik khususnya bagi mereka yang ingin menjauhkan diri dari masalah turun naik nilai matawang kertas. Namun begitu, perlu difahami, harga dan nilai emas juga boleh turun naik, cuma ia tidaklah sebegitu bermasalah seperti matawang kertas.

Kalau sebelum ini, mereka yang mengambil berat akan hukum Shariah, berada di dalam dilemma kerana hanya mempunyai pilihan akaun emas yang di punyai oleh Public Bank dan Maybank, yang mana kedua-duanya di bawah pengurusan konvensional tanpa kelulusan mana-mana majlis Shariah. Selain dari kedua-dua itu, hampir semua akaun dan pelaburan emas yang lain hanya dilaksanakan oleh syarikat persendirian yang sebahagiannya tidak dapat dipastikan tahap keselamatan dan kesahihan syarikat terbabit.

Saya telah menulis berkenaan akaun emas Public Bank & Maybank di sini .

Namun kali ini, saya kira, perbankan Islam di Malaysia melalui Kuwait Finance House telah dengan jayanya mengubat kekosongan tersebut. Melalui akaun terbabit, pelanggan boleh membeli emas fizikal, dan boleh menyimpan atau terus mengambil sendiri fizikal emas.

GAMBAR : Emas yang digunakan oleh KFH untuk akaun ini

Perlu diingat, segala pertimbangan dan kira-kira untung rugi perlulah dikaji dan diambil kira sebelum membuka akaun ini. Tulisan saya hanyalah mencadangkan akaun apabila DI LIHAT DARI SUDUT HUKUM SHARIAH sahaja dan bukan dari sudut kebolehuntungan dan pertimbangan kira-kira kewangan, kerana di Malaysia, sebarang nasihat dalam hal kebolehuntungan produk kewangan dan sepertinya memerlukan individu terbabit mempunyai lesen khas perunding kewangan.
