Meme coins are cryptocurrencies that are often started as a joke or a project based on social popularity and have no intrinsic economic value or clear use in practical life. The most famous examples include Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
2. Sharia rules for currency trading:
Islam sets controls for trade and financial transactions, including:
No uncertainty (ignorance): The transaction must be clear and not contain uncalculated risk or ignorance of the value.
No usury: There should be no usurious interest.
Avoid gambling and illegal speculation: Any transaction that resembles gambling or relies entirely on luck and high speculation is forbidden.
Have intrinsic value: The commodity or asset must have real value or benefit.
3. Analysis of buying meme coins:
Lack of intrinsic value: meme coins are often based on speculation and fame only, and are not linked to a real project or clear economic benefit, which makes them closer to gambling.
High risk: Their extreme fluctuations make investing in them closer to random speculation.
Intention and goal: If the goal of buying the coin is quick speculation in order to make profits without any real investment, this may fall within the scope of gambling.
Advice: It is always preferable to consult a reliable religious scholar or the Fatwa House in your country.
