A tech-savvy mosque has become the first in the country to accept charitable donations – in BITCOIN.

The Masjid Ramadan mosque, a registered charity, is the first to accept crypto-currency donations, and will take donations in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Religious leaders, worshippers and community members hope the move will bring in donations to support the work of the mosque – which takes in the homeless and feeds the needy.

Worshippers at the mosque in Dalston, east London are in the midst of Ramadan, which sees Muslims donate a portion of their wealth for good causes.

Mosque chairman Erkin Guney, 52, hopes to attract ‘the wealthier members of the Muslim community’ through the Bitcoin initiative.

Erkin said: “Cryptocurrency is important this year, we are trying to reach a wider audience.

“People talk about whether is Bitcoin ‘haram’ or ‘halal’ – but it is no different to a pound coin.

The mosque aims to raise £10,000 for community projects and to repair parts of the Dalston building.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
