FAQ
Scholars differ. Many consider spot currency trading permissible when the exchange is immediate, no interest (riba) is charged or paid, and excessive uncertainty (gharar) and pure speculation are avoided. Overnight swaps, interest-based margin and some leveraged products are where most concerns arise. Please consult a qualified scholar for a ruling on your situation.
A swap-free account does not charge or pay overnight interest (swap) on positions held past the daily rollover. Some brokers replace swaps with fixed admin fees, so always read the account terms carefully.
Opinions vary between scholars and between coins. Key questions include whether the asset has real utility, how it is traded (spot vs. derivatives) and whether interest-bearing products such as lending or yield are involved. Our Islamic Finance section covers these points in more detail.
Many brokers allow small starting deposits, but the right amount is one you can afford to lose completely. Start with a demo account, learn risk management, and never trade with borrowed money.
