What is halal trading?
Halal (Permissible) trading is also known as 'ethical' trading. In Islam, every avenue of our life - even how we make a living - must uphold:
a moral responsibility to ourselves
a social responsibility to the community
the Creator’s right upon us
The Shariah detail what is considered ethical
Linguistically, Shariah means the the “path that leads the traveler to water”
Practically, the Shariah is a legal framework that guides Muslims to a life pleasing to Allah
At it's core, trading stocks is like...
Going to an orchard farm
Buying good quality fruits
Selling them to make a profit
Trading stocks is permissible
Most Shariah scholars are of the opinion that trading stocks is permissible as long as it is pure income
What is pure income?
Pure income avoids what the Shariah has deemed harmful for the individual or society including these 8 prohibited categories
So the stock you trade must not mainly deal in these these categories.
Other fiqhi standards (such as financial ratios) must be met depending on the scholarly opinion you follow.

I've read/heard that day trading is not permissible in Islam. How do I verify that day trading is halal?
- There are different opinions depending on the type of trading, stock selection methodology, and market strategies you use as you will learn in the course. We recommend you read the section on ethical trading on our website, do your own in-depth research, consult your local imam or a trusted scholar, and refer to the shariah standards (fiqhi opinions) and indices of some of the financial Islamic institutions such as the AAOIFI, S&P Shariah Indices, Dow Jones Islamic Shariah Indices, FTSE Yassar Shariah Index, and MSCI.
