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
Riba (interest)
PassSpot GALA has no embedded interest. Node rewards and in-game yields are separate products not used by the bot.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs. Public governance history; subscribers should re-screen periodically.
Maysir (gambling)
PassSpot 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.
Haram-sector exposure
PassGaming platform; individual games vary. No structural protocol-revenue dependency on prohibited sectors.
Liquidity
PassGALA clears Moderate and Multi-X gates.
