Salaam everyone,
I’ve been working on something for about a year and wanted to share it in case it’s useful.
I kept seeing ads for AI trading bots and thought it sounded promising — but as a Muslim I had no way of knowing whether the coins being traded were Shariah-compliant. So I went looking for a bot that handled this. I couldn’t find one anywhere.
So I built it.
Here’s how the screening works:
• Every coin must have a verified whitepaper
• Cross-referenced against Zoya, Islamicly, and Mufti Faraz Adam’s published criteria
• Prohibited sectors are hardcoded (DeFi lending, stablecoins with riba mechanics, gambling tokens)
• Coins are assumed prohibited by default - they only enter the list if they pass all criteria (hoping to soon get a scholarly board to oversee this process to ensure compliance)
The bot runs on Binance or Coinbase, trades spot only (no leverage, no futures, no margin), and your funds never leave your exchange account.
It’s called SharifBot. Currently in early access — the Starter plan gives you full visibility of all live paper trades so you can evaluate the strategy before committing real funds.
The fully automated package will only launch once a mufti or scholarly board has formally reviewed and endorsed it.
Happy to answer any questions about the screening methodology or how it works technically. I know this community takes halal compliance seriously and I want to be transparent about the approach.
