The million-dollar question that every Muslim investor is asking.
Islamic scholars do not all agree â but the debate revolves around the central pillars of Shariah such as:
đ» RIBA (Interest) â Any guaranteed return? đ« Not allowed.
đ» GHARAR (Uncertainty) â If itâs vague or obscure? đ« Forbidden.
đ» MAISIR (Gambling) â High-risk âmoon shotsâ with no real value? â Thatâs not investment â thatâs gambling.
â WHEN CRYPTO CAN BE HALAL:
đ„ The project has real-world impact â solving real problems, not just memecoins.
đ Itâs transparent â you know what you are buying, how it works, and where the value is.
đĄïž You have full ownership â itâs your asset, not some IOU in a central exchange.
âïž No interest. No shady loans. No staking games.
đ The deal is clear, instant, and fair â with no hidden terms or delayed delivery.
â WHEN IT IS LIKELY HARAM:
đ° Earns interest through loans, staking, or margin trading? đ«
đ° Linked to gambling, adult content, or unethical industries? Big red flag.
đ Does it operate like a Ponzi scheme or pump-and-dump? Thatâs haram, not halal hustle.
â No clear use case, no value, just hype and hope? Thatâs speculation, not investment.
đ§Ÿ You don't actually own it â just numbers on someone else's server? Itâs not legitimate.
-REAL
đ WANT THE TRUTH? CONSULT REAL SCHOLARS.
No assumptions. Go straight to:
âïž Islamic financial authorities like AAOIFI
âïž Trusted muftis who understand both Shariah and blockchain
âïž Scholars publishing specific crypto fatwas based on function â not FUD
đĄ FINAL THOUGHTS FOR THE MUSLIM INVESTOR:
đ DYOR (Do Your Own Research) â whatâs behind the coin? Whatâs the model?
đž If it looks like âeasy moneyâ⊠it might just be haram money.
đłââïž Get a fatwa from someone who truly understands â both deen and digital.
đ Islam does not block wealth â it guides it.
If the crypto fits within Shariah⊠Bismillah, let it roll đ
If it doesnât fit⊠itâs better to walk away than regret on Judgment Day.
