#ShariaEarn 🔴 Why Many Scholars Say Futures Trading Is Haram:

1. Gharar (Uncertainty):

Futures involve uncertainty about future prices and delivery, which can be considered gharar, and that is prohibited in Islam.

2. Riba (Interest):

Many futures contracts, especially in forex or crypto, involve leverage and interest-based borrowing, which is riba (usury) and strictly forbidden.

3. No Real Asset Ownership:

In futures, you often don't own the asset you're trading (e.g., oil, gold, crypto). Islam requires actual ownership before selling.

4. Speculation (Maysir):

Futures trading is often highly speculative and risky — similar to gambling (maysir), which is haram.

✅ When It May Be Halal:

Some scholars allow Islamic-compliant futures trading if:

There's no leverage (no borrowing with interest).

There's no excessive speculation.

You're buying/selling real assets, not just contracts.

You take delivery or have the option to do so.

It follows Islamic finance principles and is approved by a Shariah board.
