Last screened: April 2026 · Reviewed against AAOIFI Shariah Standards
⚠️
DOUBTFUL — XRP
Ripple payment protocol — ongoing SEC legal proceedings create uncertainty
Screening Criteria
- Real utility — institutional cross-border payments ✅
- No gambling mechanism ✅
- No interest-bearing protocol ✅
- SEC lawsuit resolved but centralization concerns remain ⚠️
- Pre-mined, Ripple Labs controls large supply ⚠️
Scholar’s Note
XRP has genuine payment utility but raises concerns about centralization — Ripple Labs controls a significant portion of supply in escrow. Some scholars question whether this centralized control introduces gharar. The token itself has no riba, but the ownership structure warrants scholarly review.
