Balance: the muslim guide to crypto - part 2

let's connect

AS-SALAMU ALAYKOM

In Part 2 of The Muslim Guide to Crypto, we go deeper into the fiqh of digital assets, exploring how classical Islamic principles apply to one of today’s most revolutionary financial technologies.

Sh. Mu'aawiyah Tucker will  break down the methodology (usool) they use to determine whether Bitcoin and other crypto assets meet the conditions of halal financial conduct. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The key rulings that determine when Bitcoin use is permissible, and when it crosses into the doubtful zone.

  • Which crypto activities clearly violate Shariah principles (including staking, futures, options, and lending).

  • How to distinguish between investing and maysir (speculative gambling).

  • Whether volatility itself is a Shariah concern, or if intention and structure matter more.

  • What a truly halal crypto portfolio looks like in practice, and what to exclude.

  • How Muslims can manage risk responsibly through sound position sizing, time horizons, and custody practices.

  • A high-level approach to calculating zakat on Bitcoin holdings.

  • The growing challenge of centralization in Bitcoin’s custody, mining, and exchange ecosystems, and what that means for Muslim investors.

With practical insights from Hash Assad, Sh. Navaid Aziz, and Sh. Mu’aawiyah Tucker, this episode offers clarity, balance, and guidance for Muslims navigating the crypto space.

Whether you’re a cautious observer or an active investor, this is essential listening for understanding how to align your financial decisions with Islamic values in the digital age.
