Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
FailLiquid restaking compounds yield-on-yield concerns; REZ captures fees on this stack.
Gharar (uncertainty)
FailRestaking + liquid-token layer introduces compounding loss-vector and price-dislocation risk.
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
FailLiquid-restaking is core product.
Liquidity
PassREZ has sufficient liquidity, but gate failures are decisive.
Final verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening excludes REZ. Same family as EigenLayer.
