📚 Concepts every Muslim trader should know

💰

Riba (Interest)

Any guaranteed return on money lent. Includes overnight swap charges on standard forex هەژمار — which is exactly what swap-free هەژمار remove.

🌫️

Gharar (Excessive uncertainty)

Contracts with unknown subject matter or unclear outcomes. Most scholars consider speculative trading to involve gharar — risk management mitigates but does not remove it.

🎰

Maysir (Gambling)

Pure chance-based gain. بازرگانی دەکات without a strategy, plan, or research is closer to maysir than to investment. فێرکاری and analysis matter.

📜

Qabd (Possession)

تۆ should "possess" what you trade. Pure CFD speculation without underlying asset ownership is debated. Spot trading with physical settlement is cleaner.

📅 Hold-period rules (key for compliance)

Same-day trades: Most scholars permit intra-day spot trading — you take a position and close it the same day. No overnight swap accrues, so no riba.

Overnight without swap: Permissible on a true swap-free هەژمار where the broker does not charge OR pay interest. Watch for hidden "admin fees" replacing swap.

Overnight with swap: Not permissible without a swap-free هەژمار. Standard هەژمار always charge or pay swap.

Multi-day positions: Permitted on swap-free هەژمار but verify the broker's "anti-churning" rules don't impose hidden charges after a certain hold-period.

Important: This tool surfaces the most common scholarly views on common trading instruments for educational research. Scholarly opinions vary. ShaFX does not issue religious rulings (fatwas), is not an Islamic-finance certification body, and is not endorsed by any AAOIFI-affiliated scholar. For your personal situation always consult a qualified scholar from a recognised Islamic finance authority (AAOIFI, IFSB, your local mufti). بروکەر terms change; verify the swap-free status directly with the broker before depositing funds. بازرگانی دەکات carries risk; you can lose زیاتر than you deposit.
