Great to see so much media interest in our cryptocurrency Zakat campaign
Barely two months after announcing that it would start accepting donations in cryptocurrency, East London’s Shacklewell Lane Mosque has received more contributions in cryptocurrency compared to cash.
According to iNews, the Dalston, East London-based mosque collected donations amounting to approximately £13,983 in cryptocurrency. This was four times more than the value of contributions that were received in cash – £3,460. During the Muslim fasting period of Ramadhan, 24 cryptocurrency donations were received by the mosque. One individual gave as much as £5,200 in cryptocurrencies. Per the mosque’s website, the accepted cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The cryptocurrency donations that Shacklewell Lane Mosque has received will go towards feeding and sheltering the homeless in the local area as well as conducting needed mosque repairs.
This is great impact by the Muslims it means crypto is not Haram In Islam because it is now accepting crypto as a zakat.
“When the donations started to flow in, we were blown away. We received four times more in cryptocurrency donations than in cash from our local worshippers during Ramadan, and we are still receiving cryptocurrency Sadaqah [voluntary donations]
Peace
