How we assess each coin

HaramCoins exists to answer one question honestly: is a given cryptocurrency permissible under Islamic finance, or not? We do not issue fatwas, and we do not pretend the scholars all agree. Instead we examine every coin against the same four principles, and we show our reasoning so you can judge for yourself.

Riba (interest), does the coin pay or charge a guaranteed return, as lending tokens do?
Gharar (excessive uncertainty), is the project opaque, or its value impossible to reason about?
Maysir (gambling), does profit depend purely on speculation with nothing of value behind it?
Underlying activity, does the network mainly serve something lawful, or something forbidden?

Each coin is then placed in one of three honest categories. Permissible-leaning means it avoids the major concerns. Scholars differ means respected scholars reach opposite conclusions, as with Bitcoin. Concerns means it carries a clear problem such as interest or gambling. Read the specific coin page for the detailed reasoning, and start with our guide on what makes a cryptocurrency halal.

This site is educational and is not a fatwa or financial advice. Rulings can change as a project changes, so confirm any decision with a qualified scholar and do your own research.

From the Qur'an

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَلَٰلًۭا طَيِّبًۭا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌ

O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِSurah Al-Baqara 2:168

ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ ٱلَّذِى يَتَخَبَّطُهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۗ وَأَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۚ فَمَن جَآءَهُۥ مَوْعِظَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ فَٱنتَهَىٰ فَلَهُۥ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah. But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِSurah Al-Baqara 2:275

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَأْكُلُوٓا۟ أَمْوَٰلَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَٰرَةً عَن تَرَاضٍۢ مِّنكُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًۭا

O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.

سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِSurah An-Nisaa 4:29

وَلَا تَأْكُلُوٓا۟ أَمْوَٰلَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ وَتُدْلُوا۟ بِهَآ إِلَى ٱلْحُكَّامِ لِتَأْكُلُوا۟ فَرِيقًۭا مِّنْ أَمْوَٰلِ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And do not consume one another's wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].

سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِSurah Al-Baqara 2:188

قُل لَّا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْخَبِيثُ وَٱلطَّيِّبُ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ كَثْرَةُ ٱلْخَبِيثِ ۚ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ يَٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allah, O you of understanding, that you may be successful.

سُورَةُ المَائـِدَةِSurah Al-Maaida 5:100

Scholarly review

Every ruling here comes from qualified scholars

We document the project

Our researchers set out exactly how a project generates value, what a holder actually owns, how it earns, and where any yield comes from. Mechanism first, marketing never.

Our scholars assess it

That documentation goes to the scholars we retain. They apply the established principles of fiqh al muamalat to the specific mechanism in front of them, and they issue the assessment.

III

We publish their conclusion

We publish the ruling with the reasoning that produced it, so a reader can follow the argument rather than simply accept a verdict. Where scholars differ, we say so.

A contribution, in whatever amount you see fit

Scholarly review is the most demanding part of what we do, and we pay for it. Every project assessed means hours of study by qualified people. If this work has been useful to you and you wish to help it continue, you are welcome to contribute. There is no obligation, no tier, and nothing is withheld from anyone who does not.

Please check the address carefully before you send anything. It begins 6vdFAe and ends N9GBvL. Transfers on Solana cannot be reversed. Send only SOL on the Solana network. We will never contact you first to ask for a contribution, and we will never ask you for a seed phrase or a private key.

Contributions support research costs only. They buy no influence over any assessment, they are never accepted from a project we rule on, and they never change a ruling. A contribution is a gift, not a payment for a service, and it is not tax deductible.
