Abstract
Cryptocurrencies are an important product within financial markets. However, what they are, and how they are treated by regulatory and other authorities, remains a divisive issue. In Islamic finance, cryptocurrencies must also comply with the financial principles of Islamic law. To facilitate discussion of whether cryptocurrencies can be offered in a religiously-compatible way, this article explores whether cryptocurrencies are better classified as ‘assets’ or ‘money’ in an Islamic legal context.
