The contention surrounding Bitcoin’s acceptability and usage has an unsettled premise in both conventional and Sharīʿah law, although digital and cryptocurrencies reflect a lasting reality. This research analyses this contention by examining the concept of currency and/or money and the underpinning trust reposed on its issuing authority against the notion that cryptocurrencies and fiat money differ only in form but share the same substance and purport. Qualitative methodology provides an analysis from conventional as well as Sharīʿah viewpoints to examine the extent cryptocurrencies can gain admittance in contemporary conventional and Islamic finance and economy. The methodology entails non-empirical secondary data sourced from libraries and online databases comprising journal articles, textbooks, newspapers and reports subjected to doctrinal content analysis. Research outcomes show division among stakeholders, including conventional and Sharīʿah scholars, regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Further research is recommended inter alia on ways to adopt Shariah-compliant cryptocurrencies worldwide.

尽管数字和加密货币反映了持久的现实，围绕比特币的可接受性和使用的争论在传统法律和伊斯兰教法中都存在未解决的前提。这项研究通过检查货币和/或货币的概念以及基于其发行机构的基础信任来分析这一论点，以反对加密货币和法定货币仅形式不同但具有相同实质和目的的观点。定性方法论提供了从传统以及伊斯兰教法角度的分析，以检验加密货币在当代传统和伊斯兰金融与经济中能否获得准入的程度。该方法需要从图书馆和在线数据库（包括期刊文章，教科书，报纸和报告要进行教义内容分析。研究结果表明，在利益相关者之间，包括传统学者和伊斯兰教义学者，在比特币和加密货币方面存在分歧。建议进一步研究尤其是关于在全球范围内采用符合伊斯兰教法的加密货币的方法。
