Shacklewell Lane Turkish Mosque in London
The results of the theological research have confirmed that virtual money is not haram (prohibition - Ed.), But a perfectly acceptable currency that complies with strict Sharia law. Therefore, a Muslim temple, which is located in one of the districts of London - Hackney, decided to take advantage of this privilege and introduced donations in bitcoins. This means that parishioners of the mosque can pay zakat (annual compulsory alms-tax for Muslims) in digital currency. At the same time, the Islamic temple has grandiose ambitions - to collect £ 10 thousand of zakat in bitcoins in 2018.
