Any religion can be used to justify almost anything because such systems are based on blind trust - believers very often agree with anything their clergy tells them without trying to reach any conclusions on their own by reading holy texts of their religion. So, the statement that Bitcoin does not suit Islam can not be logically proven as true or false - different religious leaders will have different opinions, so what is really important is who will have more influence and followers in the Muslim community. Bitcoin is probably still of the radar of most mainstream religions, but it's likely that we'll start hearing more statements in the future as Bitcoin's popularity increases.

They will throw everything at it including the kitchen sink hehe. On reading that news, I now truly reckon that bitcoin has finally arrived and reached the mainstream.
Also, who would have imagined a religious organization would make a comment against bitcoin 3 years ago?

and what is it that fits Islam? will it be the terrorist attacks? the disgusting customs they have? They should not go on giving a nonsensical hunch with this weird religion. At the end of the article it says the following:
" Interestingly enough, the authorities of Iran, one of the most conservative countries in the world with very strong Islamic traditions, did not say anything about Bitcoin in terms of religion, at least lately. What they actually stated on cryptocurrency is that they are ready to welcome it after the necessary regulations are developed. "
what matters is what will the government do

do not think that I as a prejudiced attitude to Islam, but not only bitcoin does not suit Islam, there are many things that do not arrange, Again look at the bad side of this coin is not to find a positive
I don't like Islam and I do not hide. Islam is against bitcoin. Many supporters of this religion lives in poor countries. If bitcoin will help them get out of poverty they will get a good education. This will mean that Muslims will become atheists. Where Islamists to recruit terrorists? All the troubles in the world from poverty. November 30, 2017, 01:38:51 PM

Bitcoin is not controlled by any authority and has properties which easily allow its use as a means of money laundering, it is not good for those who consider themselves devout followers of Islam.
Since when are the followers of a religion so concerned with control and authority? Shouldn't a religion be something more than a group of slaves controlled by a central government. What if that government had decided that calling for prayers is against the law as it disturbs people? I'm pretty sure those "religious figures" would quickly start to instigate people against the law and the government. They are law abiding citizens as long as it fits them and as long as their pockets are full.

This statement made me laugh. It's obviously a placeholder of a statement, until the government expresses their opinion. The government will definitely not be thinking about bitcoin positively, but I think they haven't done the necessary research yet to come up with solid arguments against it. That's why this initial message was sent out to frighten people off of bitcoin, before the government assumes a position officially.

The conservative religious organization has declared that Bitcoin, the most famous cryptocurrency and right now, also the most expensive one, is not corresponding with the principles of Muhammad’s teachings. This organization, quite surprisingly, resides not in the Middle East, where in some countries, the TV shows are dedicated to what suits Islam and what does not, but in the relatively secular Turkey.
