  In Mufti Menk's view, Bitcoin can be permissible if it is used in a manner that aligns with Islamic principles. This means that it should not be involved in any haram (forbidden) activities and should not be used for speculative purposes. He suggests that individuals consult with Islamic scholars who have expertise in finance and technology to understand the permissibility of Bitcoin in their specific circumstances.
