Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Pass

Spot 1INCH has no embedded interest. Bot does not stake 1INCH.

02

Gharar (uncertainty)

Pass

Asset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.

03

Maysir (gambling)

Pass

Spot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.

04

Haram-sector exposure

Pass

DEX aggregation infrastructure. Routes through underlying DEXs which may include haram pairs; aggregator-level revenue is content-neutral.

05

Liquidity

Pass

1INCH clears Moderate and Multi-X gates.

Final verdict

Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot 1INCH passes our gates.

Caveats and notes
