Islamic Perspective on Digital ID Systems

Question

Assalamualaikum I would like to know the implications of digital ID for muslims ,the world is changing,Dajjal is coming and would complying with government laws for digitization affect our ability to go to Jannah .or rob us of our souls , I don't want to get confused with Christian beliefs . What do islamic scholars say?

Islamic Ruling & Answer

Verified

Using a digital ID or following government digitization laws does not harm faith or prevent entry into Jannah.
The fitnah of Dajjal is about misguidance in belief, not the use of technology.
Any system is permissible as long as it does not force disbelief, shirk, or haram.
