Crypto-Halal Compliance Checker

Educational crypto shariah indicators

Crypto-Halal Compliance Checker

A simple tool to highlight basic fiqh risk indicators in your crypto usage: speculation, leverage, guaranteed returns and more.

This is not a fatwā or investment advice. Always consult qualified scholars and financial professionals before making decisions.

Step 1 – Describe your crypto usage

Fill in the details below as honestly as possible, then run a basic check. Use the result as a conversation starter with a qualified scholar.

Crypto asset (name or symbol)

Primary project type

How do you plan to use it?

Where will you use it?

Does it involve any of the following?

Leverage / margin trading (borrowing funds to amplify position) “Staking”, lending or savings products with fixed or guaranteed returns Anonymous teams, unclear business model or no real-world utility Casino-style games, loot boxes, random prizes or obvious gambling features

How to read the result

The checker looks for patterns that many contemporary scholars discuss when reviewing crypto projects: gharar (excessive uncertainty), maysir (gambling), ribā-like returns and harmful speculation.

Green / lower concern: fewer obvious red flags, but you still need a fatwā based on detailed project info.
Amber / moderate concern: some features often viewed as problematic – requires careful scholar review.
Red / high concern: multiple serious red flags (e.g. leverage, casino-like features, guaranteed returns).

Key questions scholars often ask about crypto

Is the token linked to a real, beneficial use or is it mainly a vehicle for speculation?
Are there interest-like, fixed or guaranteed returns for lending or staking?
Does the project involve gambling mechanics, lotteries or zero-sum games?
Are contracts and risks clearly disclosed, or is there major ambiguity (gharar)?
Is ownership, custody and settlement transparent and enforceable?
