How Barqish makes money
Barqish earns from Pro subscriptions and optional 1-on-1 mentorship, paid by members in rupees. That is all.
- No paid listings: projects cannot pay to be screened, featured or rated.
- No payments, tokens or gifts from coin projects.
- No exchange referral links or trading commissions.
- No Barqish token, no investment scheme, no VIP signal group.
- We never sell your data.
If this ever changes, we will say so on this page first.

How verdicts are made
Every verdict comes from published rules applied to live market data, the same way for every coin. The full method is on How it works, the tests are in the Accuracy Lab (including what did not work), and every radar call is graded after 24 hours on the track record. Nothing is deleted.
Where our data comes from
| Data | Source |
|---|---|
| Crypto prices and candles | Binance public market data |
| Gold and silver prices | gold-api.com, with a PAX Gold price as backup |
| Rupee exchange rate | open.er-api.com |
| Market sentiment | Alternative.me Fear & Greed index |
| Prayer times on the desk | aladhan.com |
Third-party data can be delayed or wrong. Live job health is on the status page.
Where we use AI
- The Daily Pulse is drafted by an AI model from that morning’s radar data, and says so on the page.
- Ask Barqish is an AI assistant. It is labelled as AI, answers only from Barqish’s own published data, and never gives personal investment advice or religious rulings.
- Shariah screenings are drafted by the research desk with AI assistance and checked against our published criteria. They are not yet reviewed by a scholar (see below).
- Verdicts, scores and the evidence model are rules and statistics, not an AI guess.
Shariah governance
Honest status
Our screening covers 133 coins against eight criteria: real purpose, riba, maysir, gharar, prohibited industries, leverage, staking model and possession (qabd). The reasoning for each coin is public.
- No scholar or Shariah board has certified our screenings yet. We never call a coin “certified halal”.
- Scholars disagree about crypto. We show the main positions, including those who say crypto is impermissible, on What scholars say.
- Every coin page shows the date it was last reviewed. When a project changes what it does, we re-screen it.
- Our labels are research, not a fatwa. For a ruling on your situation, ask a qualified scholar you trust.
Are you a qualified scholar willing to review our screenings? Please contact us.
