Where can I get more details about CoinStudy's Shariah Board members to verify their authenticity?

JazakAllah Khair for asking this. It is one of the most important questions any Muslim investor should ask before relying on any halal screening platform, and we take it seriously.

Our Shariah Board is chaired by Dr. Usman Quddus, PhD in Islamic Studies and Finance, trained under AAOIFI standards. AAOIFI, the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, is the internationally recognized body that sets Shariah standards for Islamic finance globally. The same framework governs the Islamic Development Bank, Dubai Islamic Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, and major Islamic financial institutions across the world. Any Islamic finance professional familiar with AAOIFI can independently evaluate the quality and consistency of the rulings Dr. Quddus has provided through CoinStudy.

On the question of direct contact details, social media profiles, and institutional affiliation, we want to be fully transparent about why these are not published publicly rather than leaving this question unanswered.

Islamic scholars in Pakistan who issue rulings on contemporary financial matters including cryptocurrency face genuine personal security risks from extremist elements who consider such rulings controversial. Dr. Quddus has made a considered personal decision not to publish his home address, phone number, institutional location, or direct contact information in public forums. This is a reasonable and responsible personal security decision that we fully respect. It is a reality that several prominent Pakistani scholars navigating modern financial questions have chosen the same approach.

This does not affect the authenticity of his credentials or the validity of his rulings. It reflects the security environment for scholars engaging with contemporary financial topics in Pakistan in 2026.

What you can verify directly and independently is the body of work itself. Every coin analysis Dr. Quddus has reviewed is published openly on CoinStudy with his specific ruling, his reasoning, and in several cases his direct Arabic and Urdu language opinions. These include his ruling on TRON that using the network is permissible, his ruling on Hyperliquid as Haram Lighayrihi due to external factors, his ruling on BNB that spot trading profit is halal for the individual while the exchange itself cannot receive a halal rating, and his detailed formal rebuttal of the Pakistan Grand Mufti's fatwa on cryptocurrency. These are not generic statements. They are specific, reasoned, and consistent scholarly positions that follow a coherent Islamic finance framework applied across hundreds of individual cases.

The depth, consistency, and scholarly precision of these rulings are the strongest evidence of genuine engagement from a qualified Islamic finance scholar. We invite any qualified Islamic finance academic or AAOIFI-certified professional to review the rulings published on our platform and assess their scholarly quality independently.

We are actively working on making additional verification available. If you have a specific compliance question you would like submitted to the Shariah Board directly, you can submit it through this Q&A page and you will receive a response. This direct engagement with real questions from real Muslim investors is itself the most meaningful form of verification we can offer.

JazakAllah Khair for your diligence. This is exactly the kind of question Muslim investors should be asking of every halal screening platform, including ours.
