Is Futures Trading Haram? 🤔📉
In Islamic finance, the permissibility of futures trading is debated. Some scholars consider it haram due to:
❌ Gharar (Uncertainty) – Futures involve speculation and uncertainty about price movements.
❌ Riba (Interest) – Leveraged trading may involve interest, which is prohibited in Islam.
❌ Maysir (Gambling) – High-risk speculation can resemble gambling, which is forbidden.
However, some argue that if futures are used for hedging rather than speculation, they may be permissible. Always consult a knowledgeable Islamic scholar for guidance on halal investing!
