This article presents the structural concerns scholars discuss around leveraged فارکس / CFD trading. It does not issue a religious ruling. ShaFX does not. See the معامله حلال سلب مسئولیت.
The four common concerns
1. Riba (interest)
Overnight swaps are interest paid or received based on rate differentials. Many scholars view this as riba. Swap-free / Islamic accounts remove the swap charge — that is the most direct response to this concern.
2. Gharar (excessive uncertainty)
Some scholars view leveraged speculation as containing gharar — contractual ambiguity about settlement and outcome. سایر scholars distinguish between regulated, transparent markets and unregulated speculation.
3. Qabd (immediate possession)
Classical rules around currency exchange require immediate, hand-to-hand possession. CFDs do not transfer ownership of the underlying — this raises a structural سؤال different scholars handle differently.
4. Qimar / maysir (gambling-like speculation)
If trading is approached as pure speculation without analytical or productive substance, some scholars classify it as gambling. The same scholars often distinguish disciplined, planned trading from impulse speculation.
What swap-free accounts solve and don't
Swap-free accounts directly address concern (1). They do not by themselves resolve (2), (3), or (4). Some بروکرها replace swaps with administration fees — those may have their own implications.
Different scholarly views exist
Scholars from different traditions reach different conclusions on whether leveraged فارکس is permissible at all, permissible under conditions, or impermissible. The rulings of one council do not bind followers of another. The decision is personal, based on the rulings شما follow.
