Shariah compliance means adhering to Islamic law principles in financial transactions and business practices. This involves avoiding interest-based lending (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and investments in forbidden industries such as alcohol or gambling. For digital assets, it requires ensuring that the underlying asset, its issuance, and its usage align with these ethical and moral guidelines. Shariah-compliant financial products aim to serve Muslim communities seeking ethical investment and banking alternatives.
Context

Discussions frequently concern the interpretation of Shariah principles for novel digital financial instruments and the establishment of universally accepted standards. Future developments will likely involve specialized Shariah advisory boards for digital assets and the creation of more certified Islamic crypto products.
