Crypto-currency from an Islamic Perspective(Critical Analysis of Literature)

People have been exchanging goods since the beginning of time. At first, goods and services were exchanged through barter, then the system evolved and went through several phases until it finally reached the phase of digitalization of currency. Many discussions revolve around this. This study traces the development of exchange methods and examines the revolutionary concept of cryptocurrency, which is characterized by cryptography and block chain technology. The study aims to improve understanding, assess compatibility with Sharia law and clarify the acceptance of digital currencies in Islam: Through thorough library research, the study examines the legality of cryptocurrencies from an Islamic perspective, identifies trading requirements and outlines legal requirements. The findings highlight the transparency and efficiency of cryptocurrencies, coupled with concerns over potential illegal activities. Sharia compliance is deemed feasible under certain conditions, requiring the removal of ambiguity and speculation. Cryptocurrencies, which are stored and created electronically using block chain technology, use cryptographic processes to create monetary units and verify money transfers. Pending further development in line with Shariah transparency requirements, the study advocates a cautious perception and conditional acceptance of cryptocurrencies. Recommendations include further investigation and vigilance to ensure continued compliance with Shariah principles. The study makes a valuable contribution to the discourse on the legal and economic dimensions of cryptocurrencies for policy makers, academics and practitioners.
