Can a Muslim hold AINFT?8 Shariah criteria
6 pass · 2 caution · 0 failHolding the NFT token pays nothing; no staking, interest or fee-sharing function of the token is documented.
Riba is interest or any guaranteed increase on a loan. The NFT token is used for governance and platform payments, and no interest, staking or fee-sharing function of the token itself is documented. Sharlife, the first authoritative source that rates it, marks it compliant. CryptoUmmah's concern about lending in the Bank of AI product is a platform activity and is assessed under business model; lending the token through third parties is covered under trading mechanisms.
NFT is a governance and payment token for a working NFT and AI-agent platform.
This criterion asks whether the asset has real value as property (mal). The token gives governance rights and is meant to pay for AI agent calls and model training on the AINFT platform. Sharlife, the first authoritative source that rates it, marks it compliant. Limited usage data is a data gap, not a violation, so the criterion is at the maximum.
The token has no chance-based payout, but the platform offers one-click token creation and AI-driven trading tools.
Maysir is gambling: gaining or losing by chance rather than through productive exchange. The NFT token has no lottery-like feature. The score is lowered within pass because the platform includes AINFT Nova for one-click creation of AI-agent tokens and AgenTX for AI-driven DeFi trading, tools that feed speculative trading, and CryptoUmmah says the token itself trades largely on adoption speculation.
CryptoUmmah reports that AINFT's Bank of AI product enables lending and yield for AI agents; independent coverage confirms Bank of AI exists as a DeFi financial layer, though without using the words lending or yield.
This criterion asks how the platform earns and whether any of that income is impermissible. AINFT earns from NFT and AI services such as agent tools and model training, which are permissible in themselves. CryptoUmmah reports that the 'Bank of AI' product explicitly enables lending and yield generation for AI agents, and AgenTX targets DeFi trading.
Independent coverage (TRONDAO and AINFT, reported by blockchain.news) confirms Bank of AI is a real product, describing it as a financial layer for AI agents with on-chain payments, identities and 'DeFi capabilities', though it does not itself spell out lending or yield. Interest-based activity in the platform is therefore reported, but its share of income is unknown, so the criterion is at caution. Sharlife's compliant rating predates the AI pivot.
No token audit was found, governance and staking features lack documentation, and the supply is extremely large.
Gharar is excessive uncertainty or hidden information. CryptoUmmah found no coin-specific security audit and says claimed governance and staking features lack operational documentation; it scores gharar 40/100. The supply is about 990 trillion tokens and holder concentration was not measured. The project and team are, however, named and public. These are concrete uncertainties, so the criterion is at caution.
The token is used for governance and payments on an NFT and AI platform.
This criterion looks at what the asset is actually used for. The NFT token is used for governance and is meant to pay for AI agent invocation, model training and computing rewards on AINFT. These are permissible uses; how much they are used is a data gap, not a violation. Lending features of the platform are assessed under business model, so the criterion is at the maximum.
Fully paid spot NFT is available on TRON, Ethereum and BNB Chain and can be held in a self-custody wallet.
This criterion asks whether the asset can be owned in a permissible way. The NFT token trades spot with full payment and delivery on exchanges and DEXs and can be held in a self-custody wallet on TRON, Ethereum or BNB Chain. Ownership does not depend on derivatives or leverage, so the criterion is at the maximum.
No concrete fraud or hack involving the token is documented.
Maslahah weighs benefit against harm. AINFT offers NFT and AI tools, and no source collected documents fraud, a hack or misuse of user funds involving the token. Lending and speculative trading features are counted under business model and maysir, so the criterion is at the maximum.
How you can use it
Tap a card for the ruling and sourcesBuying NFT with full payment and immediate delivery is available on exchanges and DEXs, and the tokens can be moved to a self-custody wallet. Spot is acceptable for a HALAL asset.
No exchange-traded fund for the NFT token was found. A product that holds the token itself would be judged like spot; its structure would need to be checked.
The token is meant to pay for AI services inside AINFT, not as general money. Tier-1 bodies such as Indonesia's MUI rule that using cryptocurrency as currency is not permissible.
No documented staking function of the token was found; CryptoUmmah says claimed staking features lack documentation. Any staking product must be checked for the source of its reward.
Margin trading in NFT is offered by some exchanges but is never acceptable: it is a deferred exchange with borrowed money and leverage (AAOIFI SS 20).
NFT futures and perpetuals are offered by derivatives exchanges, but futures, perpetuals and options always fail under AAOIFI SS 20: deferred exchange without delivery, usually with leverage.
Lending NFT through exchange or DeFi lending programmes pays depositors interest from borrowers. This is riba.
Yield products on the token, including lending-based yield such as that CryptoUmmah describes in Bank of AI, get their return from interest-like sources and fail.
Scholars quotes
The opinion on this is the same as doing the same with any halal assets such as shares – 1) is permissible, 2) is more debatable and there are differing opinions on short-term trading.As I mentioned at the beginning of this article it is not necessary to substantiate the permissibility of something as long as there are no prohibited factors involved in it or surrounding it.Penggunaan cryptocurrency sebagai mata uang hukumnya haram, karena mengandung gharar (ketidakjelasan), dharar (bahaya) dan bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang nomor 7 tahun 2011 tentang Mata Uang dan Peraturan Bank Indonesia nomor 17 tahun 2015 tentang Kewajiban Penggunaan Rupiah di Wilayah Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.Sebagaimana mata wang yang lain, mata wang digital hendaklah tidak digunakan sebagai bayaran kepada barangan, perkhidmatan dan aktiviti tidak patuh Syariah seperti pembelian dadah, pelacuran, perjudian dan pendanaan aktiviti keganasan serta penggubahan wang haram.The SAC has also resolved that investment and trading of Digital Assets that fulfil the above requirements and which are traded on Digital Asset Exchange (DAX) registered with SC are permissible.Third: In light of the above and given the significant risks associated with this type of currencies and the instability of their transactions, the Council of the Academy recommends pursuing research and studies on issues affecting its ruling.Bitcoin is a digital currency that does not meet the legal and Sharia criteria that make it a currency subject to the rulings of dealing with official legal currencies recognized internationally.بناءً على ذلك: فلا يجوز شرعًا تداول عملة "البتكوين" والتعامل من خلالها بالبيعِ والشراءِ والإجارةِ وغيرها، بل يُمنع من الاشتراكِ فيها؛ لعدمِ اعتبارِها كوسيطٍ مقبولٍ للتبادلِ من الجهاتِ المخُتصَّةِ، ولِمَا تشتمل عليه من الضررِ الناشئ عن الغررِ والجهالةِ والغشِّ في مَصْرِفها ومِعْيارها وقِيمتها، فضلًا عما تؤدي إليه ممارستُها من مخاطرَ عاليةٍ على الأفراد والدول.According to research and opinion of experts so far, cryptocurrency is not considered ‘ maal ’ (wealth) in Sharia.Muhammadiyah memandang transaksi dan investasi kripto pada dasarnya mubah (boleh) tetapi dengan syarat tertentu.Our current position is 'tawaquf'; we can't say it is halal or haram, but we say it is better not to engage in itAI-assisted analysis checked against sources.
