#DeFiGetsGraded Whether DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is haram or halal depends on the specific activities involved and how they align with Islamic finance principles.
In Islamic finance, the main prohibitions are:
Riba (interest) – earning or paying interest is not allowed.
Gharar (excessive uncertainty) – contracts must be clear and fair.
Maysir (gambling) – speculative, high-risk activities are forbidden.
Some DeFi platforms involve lending with interest, excessive speculation, or unclear contracts, which can make them haram. However, if a DeFi project avoids interest, speculation, and prohibited industries, and follows profit-and-loss sharing models, scholars might consider it halal.
