Based on the responses of some members regarding investigating halal and haram.
Regarding the ruling on dealing with platforms like "Binance" and earning digital currencies (like Bitcoin and BNB) in Islamic law, the matter is complex and subject to multiple opinions, and there is no definitive consensus among scholars on its permissibility or prohibition.
Reasons for disagreement among scholars:
1. Aspects that might make it permissible (halal) according to some scholars' opinions:
Clear benefit: Digital currencies have become globally recognized valuable assets and can be used to purchase goods and services.
Transparency: Transactions on the blockchain are transparent and traceable.
Real investment: Some products (like Staking) rely on participating in the operation of the network and receiving a return for this participation, resembling participation in the yield of a certain asset.
2. Aspects that might make it impermissible (haram) according to other scholars' opinions:
Excessive risk (gharar): Digital currency prices are highly volatile, which may cause gharar (severe risk) that is prohibited in Islam.
Lack of Sharia controls: Many products (like lending with interest - Lending) may fall under the category of usury.
Trading what has no basis: Some scholars consider digital currencies "virtual assets" with no real value, which may remove them from the concept of "money" in Islam.
Exploiting it in unlawful activities: It may be used in prohibited operations (money laundering, financing terrorism, etc.).
Important advice for you:
1. Consult a Sharia scholar: Look for a scholar specialized in Islamic economics and digital currencies (like the fatwa house in your country, or accredited entities such as the "Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions - AAOIFI").
2. Ask about products separately: The ruling varies from one product to another:
Staking: It may be permissible if the return is in exchange for a real service (participating in network security).
Margin trading (Leverage): Often prohibited because it is a loan with interest and carries high risk.
Airdrops and gifts: They may be permissible if from a legitimate source.
3. Adhere to general Sharia controls:
Avoid products that involve explicit usury (like lending currencies with interest).
Stay away from gambling (unstudied random trading).
Do not deal with currencies linked to prohibited activities.
In summary:
The matter is not black or white. There are two opinions:
A team that prohibits and considers digital currencies a "speculative bubble" with no real basis.
A team that permits it under conditions (that it be a recognized asset and avoids suspicious products).
Therefore, you should be cautious, consult specialists, and investigate halal in specific products (like Staking and Launchpool) and clearly avoid what has a suspicion of usury or gambling.
