Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
PassSpot POL has no embedded interest.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.
Maysir (gambling)
PassSpot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.
Haram-sector exposure
PassPolygon hosts wide-ranging dApps including some not halal; base POL is platform-neutral.
Liquidity
PassPOL clears all tier gates.
Final verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot POL passes our gates.
