🕌 1. Is Crypto Halal or Haram?
This is every Muslim’s first question when entering crypto.
🔹 Halal Perspective (Permissible):
Scholars say crypto can be halal if:
✅ Transparent (no fraud or gharar)
✅ Has real utility (not pure speculation)
✅ Involves no riba (interest/usury)
🔹 Haram Perspective (Forbidden):
Other scholars argue it’s haram due to:
⚠️ High speculation (like gambling/maysir)
⚠️ No regulation or intrinsic value
⚠️ Used in illegal/dark web activities🧠 Fatwas differ, but several institutions (esp. in Malaysia & UAE) have approved Shariah-compliant crypto systems.
