While our courses are tailored specifically for the Indian stock market, many of the principles and strategies taught can be applied to other markets as well. Islamic finance principles are universal, and investors can adapt them to suit their local market conditions and regulatory environment.
Short selling, a practice where market participants sell stocks or commodities they do not own in anticipation of future price declines, is indeed considered haram in Shariah. Renowned Shariah scholar Sheikh Dr. Taqi Usmani highlights that short selling contradicts Islamic finance principles, which reject the notion of creating value out of nothing. By short selling, investors profit while the underlying company suffers losses, a clear violation of the prohibition against unjust deeds outlined in the Holy Quran (Surah Al Baqara, 2:278-279).
Commodity trading can take two forms: spot trading and future trading. Future commodity trading, where both payment and delivery are deferred, is not permissible in Islam. This is in line with the Prophet's prohibition of deferred sales. The OIC Islamic Fiqh Academy has also ruled against such transactions. However, spot trading, where delivery and payment occur within three days, is permissible according to Islamic principles. This is based on the understanding that the threeday period is equivalent to immediate delivery and payment. It's important to note that trading of currencies, gold, and silver is allowed only through spot transactions, as any delay between contract and delivery violates Islamic principles regarding riba (interest).
The permissibility of interest-free leverage for day trading is a subject of debate among scholars. While some argue that leveraging for buy-side trading (buy first, sell later) is permissible as it resembles an interest-free loan, others caution against trading with leverage due to the risk of substantial capital loss if not managed properly. At Shariah Investments India, we advise our members against trading with leverage, emphasizing the importance of sound risk management practices to avoid significant losses.
Trading in futures, options, and CFDs is considered impermissible in Islam, even if the underlying assets are Shariah-compliant stocks. According to AAOIFI Shariah Standard 21, futures trading is deemed non-compliant due to several reasons. Firstly, futures contracts involve the sale of a debt for a debt, which is prohibited. Secondly, the seller often doesn't possess the shares being traded, which violates Islamic principles. Additionally, futures contracts often lead to cash settlement, resembling gambling. Similarly, options trading is considered non-compliant due to the abstract nature of the right being traded, which is not related to wealth and is based on gharar (uncertainty) and gambling. Overall, both futures and options trading contradict Islamic principles and are not permitted for Shariah-compliant investors.
Halal trading adheres to Islamic law (Shariah), which prohibits involvement in activities considered haram (forbidden). This includes companies engaged inactivities like alcohol production, gambling, usury (interest-based income), and other unethical practices. Halal trading also imposes financial screening Shariah Compliance App requirements, such as limitations on debt and certain ratios that ensure financial transactions align with Islamic principles.
