In Egypt, the use of Cryptocurrency has the potential to damage the economic order considering that the transaction exchange medium used is not in accordance with Sharia law. In Pakistan, Cryptocurrency is against the terms of money set by FATT. In Saudi Arabia, Cryptocurrency opens up opportunities for illegal transactions and is contrary to Islamic economic rules.
