How this category is screened
Coins whose value rests on community sentiment rather than a use case. The protocol itself is not prohibited, but the case for recognised benefit is weak and trading is dominated by speculation, which raises gharar (uncertainty) and maisir (speculation) concerns. Scholars differ, so this group screens Doubtful rather than prohibited.
A verdict covers buying the coin spot and holding it. Margin, leverage, futures and fixed-yield lending accounts fail whatever the coin.
Coins are screened on published scholarly opinion about what they do, because AAOIFI has not issued a cryptocurrency standard. Scholars who prohibit all cryptocurrency, or who withhold a ruling on it, would not accept any coin on this list. This is a screen, not a fatwa.
