# Shariah Compliance

#### Who certified MinaPool as halal?

**No one yet.** We are seeking formal Shariah board certification (Target: Q2 2026).

MinaPool is **designed** based on Islamic finance principles, but we are developers, not scholars.

**We recommend:** Consult your local imam or Shariah advisor to verify compliance.

***

#### What if scholars disagree about whether this is halal?

Islamic scholars may have different opinions on:

* Whether cryptocurrency is permissible
* Whether staking counts as riba or service
* How to apply classical contracts to blockchain

**Our approach:**

* We follow mainstream Islamic finance principles
* We're transparent about our methodology
* Users should follow scholars they trust

***

#### Where does the profit come from?

All profits come from **real economic activities:**

**DeFi (30-40%):**

* Ethereum staking rewards (securing the network)
* Liquidity provision fees (facilitating trade)

**RWA (60-70%):**

* Sukuk coupon payments (Islamic bond profits)
* Property rental income (real estate)
* Commodity price appreciation (gold, silver)

**Never from:**

* ❌ Interest-based lending
* ❌ Gambling or speculation
* ❌ Haram industries

***

#### How do I know you won't invest in haram things?

**Transparency:**

* All allocations visible on-chain
* Monthly reports published
* Investment addresses publicly listed

**Screening:**

* Manual review against prohibited list
* No alcohol, gambling, pork, tobacco, weapons
* Only asset-backed strategies

**Accountability:**

* Open-source code
* Community oversight
* Future Shariah board governance

**You can verify everything yourself on-chain.**
