Verdict

Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening shows: Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot TIA passes our gates.

Our framework uses an AAOIFI-aligned methodology, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta and leading Saudi Islamic banks guidance.

Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Pass

Spot TIA has no embedded interest. Native staking is not used by our bot.

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

Data-availability infrastructure is productive economic activity.

05

Liquidity

Pass

TIA clears Moderate and Multi-X gates.

Final verdict

Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot TIA passes our gates.

Caveats and notes

  • Staking yield not used by bot.
  • Modular thesis is well-documented.
