AAOIFI Analysis (Shariah Standard No. 21)

5 of 5 criteria met for AR — expand for the breakdown.

    ✓ Pass
  • Underlying asset (utility vs pure speculation)

    The token must represent a defined, verifiable asset or utility rather than uncertainty traded for its own sake.

    Derived from the gharar gate of the published four-gate screen.

    ✓ Pass
  • Token sale structure (no riba)

    Issuance and protocol mechanics must not embed an interest mechanism or riba-bearing lending yield.

    Derived from the riba gate of the published four-gate screen.

    ✓ Pass
  • Governance (no gharar in operations)

    Supply schedule, settlement, and decision-making must be transparent enough to exclude excessive contractual uncertainty.

    Derived from the gharar gate of the published four-gate screen.

    ✓ Pass
  • Use case (halal industry only)

    The asset's dominant documented use must sit in permissible industries — no established haram-sector association.

    Derived from the haram-sector gate of the published four-gate screen.

    ✓ Pass
