📚 Concepts every Muslim trader should know
Riba (Interest)
Any guaranteed return on money lent. Includes overnight swap charges on standard forex accounts — which is exactly what swap-free accounts 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. İşlemde without a strategy, plan, or research is closer to maysir than to investment. Eğitim and analysis matter.
Qabd (Possession)
Sen should "possess" what you trade. Pure CFD speculation without underlying asset ownership is debated. Spot trading with physical settlement is cleaner.

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 account 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 account. Standard accounts always charge or pay swap.
Multi-day positions: Permitted on swap-free accounts but verify the broker's "anti-churning" rules don't impose hidden charges after a certain hold-period.
