Is it permissible to deal with bitcoin and crypto currency?

Answer

Bitcoin is a haraam gambling, riba act. It is not per-

Ibn Shaaboor (Rahmatullah alayh) said: ―I heard Al- Auzaai' (Rahmatullah alayh) saying: ‗He who presents as daleel the nawaadir (rare and obscure views) of the Ulama, has exited from Islam.‖ (Tazkaratul Huffaaz)

Sulaimaan At-Taimimi (Rahmatullah alayh) said: ―If you take (for practicing) the concession of every Aalim, total sharr (evil) will accumulate in you.‖

(Jaamiu Bayaanil Ilm libni Abdir Barr)

Al-Auzaai (Rahmatullah alayh) used to say: ―Destruction for those who acquire Fiqh for purposes other than ibaadat, and wail (destruction) for those who make halaal prohibitions on the basis of mushtabahaat.‖ (Shu'bul Umaan)

Az-Zahabi (Rahmatullah alayh) said: ―He who searches for the concessions of the Math-habs and for the errors of the Mujtahideen, verily, he has emaciated his Deen.‖ (Siyar I'laamin Nubalaa')

Abu Ishaaq Al-Maruzi (Rahmatullah alayh) said: ―He who searches for the concessions commits fisq (he becomes a faasiq).‖

(Tashneeful Masaami')

Qaadhi Ismaaeel (Rahmatullah alayh) was presented with a kitaab by the Abbaasi Khalifah Al- Mu'tadhid: The Qaadhi said: ―I saw that in this kitaab had been compiled concessions from the errors of the Ulama. I said: The author of this kitaab is a zindeeq.‖

The mureedeen should not commit the fatal blunder of circulating the error of their Shaikh. They should not join the ranks of the Rawaafidh in emulating their practices. They should not conduct themselves as did the Bani Israaeel whom Allah Ta'ala criticizes in the following Aayat:

―They took their ahbaar and ruhbaan as gods besides Allah…..‖

(Qur'aan)

If the sheikh errs, do not obey his error. The criterion of Haqq and baatil is the Shariah. Scale everything on the standard of the Shariah.

missible.
