W
hat is Forex Trading?

Forex trading is also known as forex exchange trading where people buy and sell different currencies and earn profits from it. Like when you buy the dollar when its value is down and you sell it when its value is up. In this way, people profit from the fluctuations in the value of money. It is the largest business market in the world.


Forex Trading Halal or Haram?

It is very common to debate whether forex trading is Islamically haram or halal. In Islamic terms, it is permissible to do business in which you can make money honestly and transparently. Forex trading may be permissible in Islam as such if these conditions apply: 

1. If this trade does not involve interest, then Islam allows it.

2. If real money is being transacted in this business and there is no gambling or betting involved, then Islam allows it.

3. Islam allows forex trading if no one is being cheated in this business and no one is being harmed and benefited from it.

If the forex trading business is using usury or gambling or has a high risk factor, then it is forbidden in Islam.


How To do Halal Forex Trading:

1. Trade in real currency rather than speculating on price changes.

2. Do not trade in an interest based account that only gives you profit.

3. All trading transactions should be done with transparency and honesty.


If you have any doubts, you can consult an Islamic scholar or an Islamic finance expert. 

Forex trading business is halal if it is conducted transparently and according to Islamic principles.
