"Biznas" transactions are forbidden because they are based on gambling () and unlawfully consuming people's wealth. They involve deception and exploiting greed, and the use of a product within them is merely a trick to achieve this. Furthermore, they do not resemble permissible brokerage (samsarah) due to their inclusion of conditions and methods that are religiously prohibited.
