What is the ruling on working in currency trading through a financial broker due to the lack of other work, until the completion of studies and obtaining a permissible job?
The basic ruling regarding currency trading is permissibility, based on the Almighty's saying: "Allah has permitted trade." However, the regulations for currency exchange are stricter than for other types of trade. The method of your dealing with the financial broker was not explained, but the rulings concerning dealing with financial brokers in the "Margin" system have been previously clarified. If the transaction is religiously forbidden, your study does not permit it, as there is no necessity that permits the prohibited, and the doors of lawful sustenance are wide.
