HaramCoinsAre NFTs halal or haram?
An NFT is just a certificate of ownership on a blockchain. Its ruling follows what it represents and how it is traded.
When it can be permissible
An NFT tied to a real, lawful asset or genuine utility (a ticket, a digital good, lawful art) can be acceptable, like owning any lawful property.
When it becomes a concern
NFTs depicting forbidden imagery, or traded purely as speculative flips driven by hype (maysir and gharar), lean impermissible — which describes much of the NFT market.
Judge the specific NFT, not "NFTs" as a category, and consult a scholar for anything significant.
