Why Most Scholars Say Futures Are HARAM:
1๏ธโฃ Gharar (Uncertainty) โ You're trading something you donโt truly own. Thatโs pure speculation โ a form of gambling ๐ฒ
2๏ธโฃ Riba (Interest) โ Leverage and margin involve hidden or direct interest. Islam strictly forbids it.
3๏ธโฃ Maisir (Speculation) โ Betting on market direction without real backing? That's casino-style behavior ๐ฐ
4๏ธโฃ Deferred Delivery โ Islamic finance requires both payment and delivery to be immediate โ not "maybe someday."
โ When Could It Be HALAL?
Only if the following strict Islamic conditions are met:
๐ธ The asset is real, tangible, and halal
๐ธ Thereโs no leverage, no interest, and no ambiguity
๐ธ You have actual ownership of the asset
๐ธ The trade is done for hedging and protection, not just for risky profits
Think: Salam Contracts, not modern speculative futures.)
๐ง Scholar Verdicts:
AAOIFI (Islamic Finance Standards): โ Haram
Darul Uloom Deoband: โ Haram
Some Modern Scholars: โ Permissible ONLY with strict Shariah-compliance
โ ๏ธ THE REALITY:
Most futures platforms = casinos with fancy interfaces ๐ฎ
You're not investing โ you're gambling with your akhirah.
๐ Donโt let greed steal your peace and purpose.
๐ Trade the Halal Way โ and Win in Both Worlds:
โ๏ธ Shariah-Compliant Stocks
โ๏ธ Islamic Mutual Funds
โ๏ธ Sukuk (Islamic Bonds)
โ๏ธ Real Assets like Gold & Property
๐ Letโs Talk:
Are you risking your dunya AND akhirah for the hype?
Be honest. Reflect. And choose wisely.
