Q & A

What is Forex Trading, and how does it differ from regular currency exchange?

Forex Trading refers to the act of buying and selling foreign currencies through online platforms to make a profit. Unlike regular currency exchange, where you exchange currency at the current exchange rate for travel purposes, Forex Trading involves speculative trading where currencies are bought at a low price and sold at a higher price for profit. This is often done using online platforms.

Why is Forex Trading considered haram according to Islamic teachings?

Forex Trading is considered haram because it involves elements that contradict Islamic law, such as the involvement of interest (riba), and uncertainty (gharar). The National Fatwa Council of Malaysia declared it haram in 2012, and many Islamic scholars, both local and international, support this view.

What are Trading Card Games (TCG), and why are they considered haram by some scholars?

Trading Card Games (TCG) are games where players collect and trade cards, often with rare cards that can be worth significant amounts of money. Some scholars consider TCGs haram because the element of luck or gambling is involved, as players rely on chance to get valuable cards. This randomness in outcomes is seen as similar to gambling.

What makes 'Claw Machines' or 'Crane Games' problematic from an Islamic perspective?

Claw Machines or Crane Games are problematic because they contain elements of gambling, where players pay money but may not win a prize, depending on luck. This uncertainty and reliance on chance make them haram under Islamic teachings.

Why are 'Mystery Boxes' and similar surprise packages considered haram in Islam?

Mystery Boxes, where buyers purchase packages without knowing their contents, are considered haram because they involve uncertainty and lack of transparency in the transaction. Islamic law requires that the product being bought must be clearly defined to avoid exploitation and unfair advantage, which is not guaranteed in such transactions.

What is the issue with collecting action figures or toys for adults, like Gundam robots or superheroes?

Collecting action figures for adults is discouraged because it may lead to disrespecting the items, as they could be treated as idols or objects of excessive attachment. Islam permits children to play with such toys, but adults should avoid using them as decorative items in ways that could encourage improper veneration or idolatry.

What is the ruling on owning dogs in Islam, especially in the home?

In Islam, dogs are considered impure, and owning one as a pet in the home is discouraged because it can block the mercy of Allah. Dogs are allowed only for specific purposes like hunting, guarding, or herding, and not for companionship or decoration. Keeping them inside the house is generally seen as problematic unless necessary.

How does Lootbox in video games relate to gambling, and why is it considered haram?

Lootboxes in video games are akin to gambling because they offer random rewards that players purchase with real money, creating a system where the outcome is based on luck. This resembles gambling, which is prohibited in Islam. However, if lootboxes are obtained without real money, they might be permissible as they do not involve risking financial assets.

What is Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), and why can it be problematic from an Islamic perspective?

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a business strategy where participants earn commissions not only for sales but also by recruiting others into the program. MLMs can be problematic because many of them are structured as pyramid schemes, where those at the top benefit at the expense of those below. This model often lacks legitimate product sales and focuses primarily on recruitment, which can be considered exploitative and haram.

What is the Islamic stance on ketum (kratom) consumption, and why is it prohibited?

Ketum, or kratom, is a plant used for its psychoactive effects, such as stimulation and euphoria. Its consumption, especially when mixed with other substances, can lead to addiction and intoxication, making it haram in Islam. Even though it may have medicinal uses in some contexts, its recreational use and potential for harm make it prohibited.
