Bitcoin is banned in Islam say Egyptian authorities on religious issues
Bitcoin's digital currency is one of the most important events that has caught up on the media in the past year.
However, a group of Muslim leaders have asked for this currency to be forbidden to be used by Muslims, as it is considered "immoral", writes "Ahram."
The last call was made by Egypt's great Mufti Shawwi Allam, who stated that Bitco is equal to "gambling", which is banned in Islam.
