CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND BLOCKCHAIN CODING TECHNOLOGY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC LAW

Money as a concept has changed throughout history, depending on needs and advances in technology. After electronic money, currently the concept of crypto currency has come to dominate the agenda of all, be it small savers or states.

This article will try to address the subject from an Islamic law perspective by comparing different approaches.
