What is the ruling on trading in Forex with private funds, without financing or overnight fees, with the value of the transaction being reserved from the account and recorded in the chosen account currency, and the buying and selling operations being completed and immediately posted on the platform?
In summary, it is permissible to engage in such transactions, provided that one avoids leveraged trading and overnight fees, and that the exchange of possession occurs constructively (hukman) when purchasing currencies and items that require immediate possession, such as gold and silver. Among the forms of constructive possession that are considered valid by Sharia and custom is the banking entry of a sum of money into the customer's account, whether deposited directly or via a bank transfer. If these conditions are met, then there is no objection to the transaction.
