In spot trading, you buy or sell a real asset (like Bitcoin or Ethereum) at the current market price, and the exchange of assets happens immediately.
โ According to Islamic teachings, spot trading is generally considered halal โ as long as it doesnโt involve haram activities and follows fair, immediate transactions without interest.

This form of trading allows you to borrow money to increase your position in the market. However, borrowed funds usually come with interest (riba).
โ Islam strictly prohibits interest-based transactions, so margin trading is considered haram due to the involvement of riba and high uncertainty (gharar).

In futures trading, you're not buying an asset directly โ you're making a contract to trade it at a later date, often with high speculation and leverage.
โ Futures trading is also generally viewed as haram in Islam because it involves maysir (gambling) and uncertainty.
