Coverage: 42 top crypto assets by liquidity. Re-screened quarterly. Last methodology update: 2026-Q2.

Why this exists

You shouldn't need a fiqh degree to invest halal

For most Muslims, “is this crypto halal?” is a question that comes up the moment they open a Binance app for the first time. The honest answer — “it depends” — isn't very useful when there are hundreds of tokens in front of you and a price chart that won't wait for the next Friday khutbah.

Our halal coin screener applies the AAOIFI-aligned framework methodology — the same standard used by Islamic banks worldwide — to the top crypto assets by liquidity. Four gates are checked: riba (interest), gharar (excessive uncertainty), maysir (gambling-equivalent payoffs), and haram sector exposure. If a coin fails any one gate, it's flagged as haram.

The screener is free, requires no signup, and gives you the same verdict our automated halal trading bot uses internally. You can use it as a sanity check before placing any trade, whether you trade manually or run our multi-agent system.

The 4-gate methodology

How a coin earns a halal verdict

01

Riba — interest mechanics

We exclude any token whose value or yield depends on interest payments. This catches lending-protocol governance tokens (AAVE, COMP, MKR), CDP-collateralised stablecoins (DAI), and any rebasing token that auto-compounds against an interest rate index. Stablecoins backed by interest-bearing reserves can pass for spot transit only — never as a yield-bearing position.

02

Gharar — excessive uncertainty

Spot-only mandate. Perpetual futures protocols (GMX, dYdX, Injective) are excluded by structural gharar — the protocol itself depends on leveraged derivatives. Memecoins with no service economy and pure-speculation payoff distributions also fail this gate.

03

Maysir — gambling-equivalent structure

Tokens whose primary smart-contract function powers casinos, lotteries, sports betting, or maysir-structured prediction markets are permanently excluded. Play-to-earn projects with random-distribution reward mechanics (e.g. AXS) also fail.

04

Sector — haram industries

Adult content platforms, conventional fractional-finance instruments, and insurance risk-pool tokens are excluded. The threshold for incidental exposure is 5% of network revenue; above that, the coin is excluded.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this a fatwa?+

No. The screener gives you an operational halal verdict grounded in published AAOIFI standards and OIC Fiqh Academy resolutions. It is not religious authority. For binding rulings, consult a qualified scholar.

Why is USDT marked “review” instead of haram?+

USDT’s reserves include interest-bearing instruments, which makes earning yield on it impermissible. But using USDT purely as a quote asset for fully-settled spot trades — i.e. a transit medium that you hold for minutes, not as savings — is broadly accepted by AAOIFI-aligned scholars. Treat it as transit, never as savings.

What about staking and earn products?+

Staking is treated separately from spot screening. Some forms of staking are closer to a service fee (validator-equivalent), and some forms are riba-equivalent (fixed APY products with no protocol-level service). Our automated bot does not stake — only spot.

Why is a coin like BNB halal but Aave haram?+

BNB is a utility asset for an ecosystem of which lending is one product among many. Aave is the governance asset for a protocol whose core revenue is interest. Token-level revenue exposure to riba is the deciding factor.

How often are verdicts updated?+

Quarterly review of the full universe. Individual coins are re-screened immediately when there is a material protocol change — tokenomics, governance, or treasury composition.

Can I rely on this for my zakat calculation?+

Use it as a starting point. Our screener tells you whether the underlying asset is halal — your zakat methodology depends on holding period and intent and may require scholar guidance.
