    Bitcoin or any other digital currency is purely a virtual and imaginary currency, lacking the fundamental attributes and conditions of real currency. Currently, no government has officially accepted responsibility for it. Various religious authorities and scholars worldwide, including Darul Uloom Deoband, have issued fatwas declaring it as illegitimate.

    Bitcoin or any digital currency, in essence, is nothing more than a fictional currency, devoid of the essential characteristics of real currency. The online trading of Bitcoin or digital currency under the guise of buying and selling is merely a deception, as it lacks actual substance, and there are no legal conditions for its transactions. In reality, it is akin to forex trading and takes the form of usury and gambling.

    However, in my opinion, if the government were to grant permission, there may be a possibility of engaging in spot trades.

    The time for Suhur, the pre-dawn meal before fasting during Ramadan, ends at a specific Islamic time known as “Fajr” or “Subh Sadiq.” Fajr begins with the onset of true dawn, which is the time when the first light appears on the horizon vertically. This marks the beginning of the daily fast, and Suhur should be completed before this time. The exact timing of Fajr can vary based on your location and the method of calculation used. It is recommended to consult a local Islamic authority, mosque, or an Islamic prayer time app or website for accurate and specific Suhur and Fajr times in your area during Ramadan, as these times can change depending on your geographical location and the time of year. It’s essential to finish your Suhur meal a few minutes before the Fajr time to ensure that you have observed the fast correctly. Additionally, some Islamic communities follow the practice of the “Adhan” or call to prayer for Fajr, which is another indicator that Suhur’s time has ended.

    The Jummah (Friday) prayer in Islam starts shortly after the sun has passed its zenith, which is known as “Dhuhr time.” In practical terms, it usually begins around midday when the sun has started to decline from its highest point in the sky.

    The exact time for Jummah prayer can vary depending on your geographical location and the time of year due to changes in the length of daylight. It typically takes place after the Dhuhr (noon) prayer, and it’s recommended to arrive early for the Friday sermon (Khutbah) and the congregational prayer. To find the precise starting time for Jummah in your area, you can check with your local mosque, refer to Islamic prayer timetables, or use smartphone apps designed for this purpose.
