Islamic Coin Gets Fatwa from Muslim Scholars
Islamic Coin (ISLM), a Shariah-compliant digital currency has gotten itself a Fatwa, from Muslim authorities, according to TradeArabia News Service. The edict was led by Sheikh Dr Nizam Mohammed Saleh Yaquby, recognised as ‘The Gatekeeper’ of the $2 trillion markets for Islamic financial products.
Translated from Arabic, a Fatwa is an “opinion.” It is usually given in response to questions raised by people, businesses or Islamic courts. The Muslim Coins cryptocurrency will be bent on being accepted and useable in the whole Ummah.
Fatwas are not binding judgments, but if it is a positive fatwa, then you can carry onwards and upwards with the peace of mind that you have been given the seal of approval from religious leaders.
Islamic Coin has itself a positive Fatwa and will steam ahead. Building an autonomous, immutable independent financial system is Islamic Coin’s Management Board’s target. They will oversee the development of the ISLM coin, which operates on the Haqq blockchain.
The Fatwa from authorities was granted based on its use of proof-of-stake mining, and the decentralized nature of the ISLM coin. And, its charitable activities. Shariah compliance has been a recurring issue in crypto.
Islamic Coin claims to be a world-first, by sticking to the principles of the Quran. And “creating an instrument to serve and empower the Muslim community, while delivering direct value and promoting the principles of Islam via blockchain and innovation.”
