Question

Is investing in Bitcoins halaal or haram?

Answer

The ulama have not yet regarded Bitcoin as a currency. Hence, you should refrain from it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
