RE: Pipsology's Forex Leverage

Now I have too admit that we're not really expert in Forex whatmore Forex in Islam. Don't remember if we ever discussed it in class (unless of course I wasn't paying much attention lol). Anyways I looked it up online and did a brief research and here's some source that might help in answering your questions.

Remember that there are specific conditions imposed in order to ascertain that a financial product is halal (no riba). Two primary conditions are 1)transactions needs to be on the spot 2)the value needs to be equivalent. As for forex leverage some argued that because the amount "controlled" does not really exists (since it can only be realized when profit is made) it might be constituted as gharar (uncertainty) and is thus not permissible (haram). Some form of forex leverage also uses derivatives (forwards, options, futures, etc.) and is thus is not permissible. Again I am not by any means an expert (or even remotely knowledgeable) therefore it is better to refer to professionals in this matter.

For Nas: If you're reading this, your comments (and thoughts) would be greatly appreciated.
For Max: Try asking Tasadaq when you get the opportunity okay?
