Shariah screening · reviewed 24 September 2026

Is Sonic (S) halal?

✓ Compliant

Likely halal (Shariah-compliant) to buy and hold on spot, according to our screening.

Smart-contract network. A blockchain that apps are built on; the token pays network fees. Proof-of-stake validation is generally viewed differently from interest-based lending, though scholars still discuss it.

Formerly Fantom.

Roman Urdu: Yeh blockchain network hai jis par apps bante hain, token fees ke liye istemal hota hai. Proof-of-stake validation ko sood wali lending se mukhtalif samjha jata hai, lekin ulama is par guftagu karte hain.

How we screened S

CriterionWhat we checkResult
Riba (interest)Does the project earn from or depend on interest?• Needs care
Maysir (gambling)Is it built around betting, lotteries or gambling-like bets?✓ Pass
Gharar (excessive uncertainty)Is the value almost pure speculation with no real basis?✓ Pass
Real utilityDoes the token have a genuine use beyond trading it?✓ Pass
Prohibited industriesIs it tied to alcohol, adult content or other prohibited sectors?✓ Pass

If you decide to trade S

  • Buy on spot only. Futures, margin and leverage are widely considered impermissible and are the fastest way to lose money.
  • Avoid exchange “Earn”, lending and fixed-yield products. Those usually pay interest.
  • Staking: proof-of-stake validation rewards are viewed differently from interest by many scholars, but pooled or lending-based “staking” products may not be. Ask your scholar about the specific product.
  • Only use money you can afford to lose, and always set a stop-loss.

Scholars differ

Contemporary scholars disagree about cryptocurrency, and some consider all of it impermissible. This page is a transparent, criteria-based screening to help you think clearly. It is not a fatwa. For a ruling on your situation, ask a qualified scholar you trust. Read our full methodology.

✓
Real purposeThe asset does something real: money, network fuel, a service or a claim on a real product.
✓
No riba at the coreThe protocol does not earn or pay interest as its main business.
✓
Not gambling (maysir)Value is not a pure bet on hype, lotteries or zero-sum games.
✓
Clear terms (no gharar)Supply, rules and ownership are transparent and knowable.
✓
No prohibited industryNot tied to alcohol, adult content, gambling platforms or weapons.
✓
No built-in leverageThe token itself is not a derivative, margin or futures product.
!
Staking is a service, not a loanAny rewards come from validating the network, not from lending at interest. Proof-of-stake rewards are treated by most contemporary scholars as a fee for validation work, not interest; a minority still cautions. Avoid "earn" products that lend your coins.
✓
Full possession on spot (qabd)You pay in full and can withdraw to your own wallet; no short selling of what you do not own.

What would change this verdict: It would move to Questionable if the project added interest-based lending as core income, or if the token became mostly a speculative bet.

Keeping your trading Shariah-compliant

Screening criteria follow the framework used by contemporary Shariah crypto screens: purpose of the asset, riba, maysir and gharar, prohibited industries, leverage, staking model and possession (qabd). Opinions differ among scholars on individual coins; Barqish shows the reasoning so you can ask your own scholar. This is educational screening, not a fatwa.
