Forex Trading

Q: Is forex trading halal or haram in islam?

A: For the validity of any sale, ownership and possession of the commodity is required. In the case of dealing in foreign currency online, generally, physical possession and delivery of the currency is not found. Hence, if physical possession and delivery is not found, it will not be permissible, and if it is found, it will be permissible.
