What is the ruling on giving money gained from forbidden forex trading to a Christian to be exchanged for lawful money of the same amount, and what is the ruling on Islamic accounts and network marketing, and is it permissible to continue in forex trading and donate all the money earned?
It is not permissible to continue with forbidden dealings; rather, one must cease them immediately and repent to Allah.
Usurious gains and illicit earnings must be disposed of by spending them on the interests of Muslims and giving them to the poor and needy.
Exchanging these gains with a Christian does not make them permissible, because the prohibition is related to the liability of the transactor, not to the money itself.
Dealing with a Forex company is permissible if it adheres to the rulings of Islamic Sharia.
