What differs

  • Both are summarised as Ikhtilaf: scholars differ.
  • Both are on the SC Malaysia list of Shariah-compliant digital currencies: Cardano since 12 Jan 2023, Ethereum since 20 Jul 2020.
  • 6 positions apply to both in the same way, mostly rulings on crypto in general: Darul Uloom Karachi, Muhammadiyah, SC Malaysia Shariah Council, 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.

Compare Cardano with another coinCompare Ethereum with another coinHow the summary works
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.
