Learn: halal crypto guides, UAE crypto law and USD accounts

Fasset Learn is the part of this site that explains before it offers anything. It covers three subjects that come up before someone moves money through a money app: what Islamic scholars have ruled about crypto and why their rulings differ, how the United Arab Emirates regulates the firms that deal in virtual assets, and how an account that receives US dollars works when the provider is not a bank.

The guides are written for people making a first decision, not for traders. One reader is a freelancer whose client in the United States has asked for a routing number. Another lives in the UAE and wants to know whether buying USDT is lawful and how to check a firm's licence. A third has heard that crypto is permitted and also that it is prohibited, and wants to read the rulings. No guide assumes the vocabulary: terms such as riba, gharar, ACH and IBAN are explained where they first appear.

Every guide follows the same rules. Each figure and each ruling carries its source and the date it was read. Where scholars or regulators disagree, the guide sets the positions side by side and does not choose between them. Where Fasset is the subject, the guide separates what a public register confirms from what the company states about itself, and it says what has not been published. A label on a list is treated as a claim until the reviewer and the method are named.

The guides are for information only. They are not investment, legal, tax or religious advice, they do not forecast prices and they do not tell you what to buy. A religious question belongs with a scholar you trust, and a legal or tax question with a qualified adviser in your country. What a guide can do is put the published rulings, rules and costs in front of you, so that the conversation starts from the documents.

Start with the three core guides below, in any order. Each takes between 15 and 18 minutes to read and opens with a short answer and a list of key points. The topic sections after them say what each subject covers and which guides are planned next. The last sections lead to the product pages, the fee schedule and the licences, where you can check a guide against what Fasset offers.
