RON SAND

Quick answer
Ronin

Ronin is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 65.9/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective. Muslims should also carefully evaluate any DeFi protocols built on this platform to avoid interest-based applications.

The defining feature of money in Islam is that it is nothing but a medium of exchange. It is only that and serves nothing but that. It is not a commodity to trade or rent.

Mufti Faraz Adam
The Sandbox

The Sandbox is classified as doubtful (mashbooh) with a Shariah compliance score of 66.9/100 based on our scholar-approved methodology. The staking mechanism requires careful evaluation from an Islamic perspective.

You must follow the stance of your own trusted scholar or shaykh in matters where legitimate scholarly differences exist.
