+10% of users using workarounds** (e.g., converting to fiat immediately to avoid holding crypto), the experiment is terminated because it indicates the feature does not serve its intended purpose.

+## THE PROTOCOL
+
+**STEP 1: THIS SPRINT – SECURE THE FATWA**  
+Write a one‑page executive summary of the crypto‑trading proposal, including the exact token mechanics, smart contract details, and user flow. Submit it to the Shariah board with a deadline of 10 business days. Prepare a sign‑off document that explicitly states the permissible conditions (e.g., no leverage, no interest, instant settlement). If the board demands changes, iterate within the sprint.
+
+**STEP 2: BUILD THE REVERSIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE**  
+Engineers implement a feature flag toggling the entire crypto module. Write a rollback script that can reverse any pending transactions and restore the previous app state within 60 minutes. Document the rollback procedure and assign an on‑call engineer for the beta period. Test the flag and script in staging with simulated transactions.
+
+**STEP 3: LAUNCH THE BETA AND MONITOR DAILY**  
+Invite the first 100 users from a waitlist (pre‑qualified for high trust). Send them a one‑time consent screen with a summary of the Shariah board’s ruling and a “I understand the risks” checkbox. Monitor daily: log every transaction, flag any that deviate from the approved mechanics, and run a daily compliance check against the Shurut. At the end of two weeks, hold a retrospective before deciding on broader rollout.

+## MUHASABA (RETROSPECTIVE)
+
+**What single assumption about our users’ religious commitment did we make that, if wrong, would invalidate our entire decision?**
+
+If the assumption is that users will accurately self‑report when they feel a transaction is impermissible, but in reality they stay silent out of fear of missing out, then our “zero complaints” metric becomes meaningless. We would ship a feature that violates Hifz al‑Din while believing it is safe. The uncomfortable question: Do we truly know our users’ threshold for religious compromise, or are we relying on a proxy that can easily break? Next sprint, add a post‑transaction satisfaction survey that explicitly asks: “Did this transaction feel in line with your Islamic values?” Use the answer to calibrate our Shurut, not just as a checkmark.
