Country guide · Updated 2026-04-28
A spot-only, AAOIFI-aligned halal crypto trading bot for residents of Iraq. Local context, local exchanges, USD-only billing — and the same screening framework we apply globally, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Ifta and public Islamic-finance references.
Iraq's Central Bank has issued advisories warning against crypto, but personal ownership through global exchanges has not been comprehensively criminalised. Iraq has both Sunni (Iraqi Fiqh Council) and Shia (Najaf Hawza, including Grand Ayatollah Sistani's office) scholarly authorities, and crypto rulings have been issued from both sides. Several Shia scholars have weighed in cautiously on Bitcoin permissibility. Our AAOIFI-aligned framework, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Ifta and leading Saudi Islamic banks guidance, is the Sunni-leaning screening — Iraqi subscribers may also want to consult their Marja for taqlid on the Shia side.
Primary regulator: Central Bank of Iraq
The Central Bank of Iraq has issued advisories cautioning against crypto. Personal ownership through global exchanges is widespread; subscribers should monitor CBI and Ministry of Finance updates.
Both Sunni and Shia scholarly authorities exist in Iraq. Our framework is AAOIFI-aligned (Sunni-leaning); Shia subscribers should also consult their Marja's office for taqlid considerations.
Subscription is USD only ($49 / $69 / $99) via Whop and NowPayments. IQD is informational only.
The bot connects via a read + spot-only API key; Withdrawal permission is never granted. You retain full custody control through your exchange’ s standard withdrawal flow. The local options below cover local-money on/off-ramp where applicable; the bot itself runs on global venues.
Note: pricing and billing are USD only. Your card or wallet handles any FX from local money to USD.
Our screening uses an AAOIFI-aligned framework, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Ifta and public Islamic-finance references. For Iraq subscribers, this sits alongside local references:
Local references: Iraqi Fiqh Council (Sunni); Najaf Hawza (Shia, including Grand Ayatollah Sistani's office).
In Iraq, two scholarly traditions coexist. On the Sunni side, the Iraqi Islamic Fiqh Council engages with contemporary financial questions; on the Shia side, the Najaf Hawza, including the offices of senior marja such as Grand Ayatollah Sistani, issues guidance for muqallidin. Neither tradition has published a comprehensive nationwide crypto fatwa, though several Shia scholars have weighed in cautiously on Bitcoin permissibility. Our AAOIFI-aligned framework references this guidance alongside the Saudi Permanent Committee for Ifta and leading Saudi Islamic banks (Sunni-leaning) — Shia subscribers should also consult their Marja's office for taqlid.
We do not claim to override local fatwas. Subscribers make their own taqlid choice; our methodology page details every gate and decision rule.

The bot does not scalp. It targets asymmetric multi-X outcomes — minimum 3% in 4 hours, or 5% in 1 hour, or pyramid-target trades — with structural exits, not micro-tick churn. Every trade is a direct spot purchase (T+0 settlement) with no leverage, no perpetuals, no margin.
