Yakubu113: In as much as i don't support cyber crime this police squad call SARS are more dangerous than the criminals there are set up to fight. There even move around with machete police men with machete in a country where there is a government. just like obasanjo said Nigeria is moving towards being a failed state with the quality of leaders we have is just a matter of time before it's officially becomes a failed state. The youths should keep watching big brother 9ja

lanrexlan: Op, I will strongly advise you to flee from forex. Apart from Islamic view, you can read up experts' views and weigh the options of making money via it.
qwertyboss: That's why I said some one who lacks in depth knowledge of forex will not give the best verdict! I think a particular person can not conclude this, unless there is a consensus of the ulammas! I strongly oppose the fact that forex is gambling because in forex you absolutely can control your risks. Unlike in gambling
If there's a better time for our Islamic scholars especially in Nigeria to talk about this issue is now because the rate at which our youth are going into forex is alarming. Before its too late
Thanks @qwertyboss and @Empiree for your responses. I'm grateful; Jazakkum llahu khairan
@qwertyboss, I've listened to some Islamic lectures and I've read some write-ups that says that Forex is haram with evidences. Most of them actually link Forex to gambling.
There's this particular lecture that I found on YouTube yesterday and I share the same opinion with the lecturer.
However, I've decided to stay off Forex and invest my cash elsewhere.
Salam Aleikum Warahmotullah Wabarakatuh. I'm a young muslim looking for means to make a living, albeit in an halal way.
Sometimes last week, I listened to a radio programme where an e-trading expert was invited as a guest The expert (he) talked at length on the need to have various means of income and how to take advantage of the internet in order make money. I was moved by his brief lecture and I showed interest via the telephone lines he dropped. I, along with others who showed interest attended their zoom training on Thursday where they talked about shares, indices and stocks, trading of commodities and currencies.
I created an account with them on Saturday and I deposited ₦100,000 as my startup capital. During my registration, I saw a checkbox that allows Islamic Account and I ticked the checkbox. We had another training on Monday and that was when I got to know that trading of currencies was another name for forex which I know is 100% Haram but I consoled myself with the fact that I created an Islamic account. Today, I decided to make a little research about Islamic forex and I couldn't get a concrete info on whether it's halal or Haram, and that's why I'm here on Nairaland, to seek knowledge. Though, I want to make money but I won't risk my Deen for money. What's the Islamic view on Islamic forex? I'll appreciate any help. Jazakkum llahu khairan
