What differs
- Both are summarised as Ikhtilaf: scholars differ.
- Bitcoin is on the SC Malaysia list of Shariah-compliant digital currencies (since 20 Jul 2020); WhiteBIT Coin is not.
- Only Bitcoin has positions from Nahdlatul Ulama (permits), UAE Central Bank Shariah Authority (permits), Federal Territory Mufti (prohibits), Perlis Fatwa Committee (permits), Awqaf, UAE (prohibits), Dar al-Ifta, Egypt (prohibits) and Darul Uloom Deoband (prohibits).
- SC Malaysia Shariah Council takes different positions: permits for Bitcoin (a decision on this coin), permits with conditions for WhiteBIT Coin (its ruling on crypto in general).
- 5 positions apply to both in the same way, mostly rulings on crypto in general: Darul Uloom Karachi, Muhammadiyah, Majelis Ulama Indonesia, National Fatwa Council, Malaysia and Diyanet, Türkiye.
Positions as of 5 Nov 2026. Market data: CoinGecko.
This is not a fatwa and not financial advice. The labels count published positions: Halal-leaning when two thirds or more of the bodies permit it, Haram-leaning when all prohibit it, Ikhtilaf otherwise. Ask a qualified scholar for a ruling that applies to you.
Deengen does not issue fatwas or verdicts, and a comparison is not a ranking. Each column summarises positions published by recognised fatwa bodies and regulators, as dated and linked. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset. Ask a qualified scholar for a ruling that applies to you. Crypto involves substantial risk, including the loss of your capital. Market data from CoinGecko may be delayed or wrong.
