THE APPLICATION OF BLOCKCHAIN FOR SMART CONTRACTS IN MURABAHAH FINANCING: A SHARIA COMPLIANCE AND LEGAL ENFORCEABILITY STUDY presents the following source proposition: The digital transformation of financial transactions raises important questions regarding Sharia compliance, contractual validity, and legal enforceability in decentralized systems. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracts face a legal enforceability risk: they may be attacked as void and unenforceable, because contract law rules on formation, interpretation, conditions and remedies were not written for coded agreements and require substantive adjustment. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
