If a halal crypto project has a partnership with another haram crypto project, the halal crypto project becomes haram too?
Question submitted by user.
We need to look at the details to see the scope of the partnership and determine if the halal project has a fundamental change as part of this partnership or not. There is not straight forward answer to this without specific details.
For example, if a project is partnering with an exchange that offers margin trading and there is potentially no change in the underlying project so the project remains halal. It is just available on another exchange for investors. Having the ability to do margin trading and actually doing it are two different things. The coin in this case would be halal as nothing has changed with its fundamentals.
Another example, if the partnership is with SBF of FTX, or something questionable then the legitimacy of the project becomes concerning and opens up the possibility of making the coin itself non-permissible. Details are required to fairly answer your question objectively.
