Is trading haram? An honest discussion for Muslim traders

There had been a good amount of discussion around the topic of whether or not trading is haram. In truth, trading itself is not really haram, but a alot of specific prohibited elements are being considered, such as interest or extreme uncertainty. So when does it become haram?

It becomes haram or strictly prohibited when one has to impose or earn interest (riba), like margin borrowing fees, rollover charges and overnight swap fees. Entering contract that lack certainty and transparency (gharar) and the outcome relies merely on blind speculation is another prohibition, as well as treating market trades like a pure game of chance instead of a genuine commerce with real economic value (maysir). It is also deeply prohibited to buy shares in companies from forbidden industries, such as alcohol companies, pork-related businesses, and those that deal with conventional banking and gambling.

In order for trading to be considered halal, a few things should be considered first. One, you must be able to take actual legel or beneficial ownership of an asset before being able to sell or trade it. Currency or commodity exchange should also be something that should happen without delay and with no hidden interest fees. No usage of high leverage or borrowed money on platflorms that charge very high interest rates. And lastly, publicly traded companies must pass strict screenings and should strictly be Shariah-compliant
