Is Tether (USDT) halal?

Same Shariah logic as USDC. Additional concern: reserve transparency. Most scholars say avoid where possible.

Fiat-backed stablecoin issued by Tether, redeemable 1:1 for USD with disputed reserve composition.

  • Mufti Faraz Adam (Amanah Advisors)

    Reserve opacity adds gharar concern beyond the standard stablecoin analysis. Prefer USDC if possible.
