Is binary options trading halal in Morocco?
Binary options are an all-or-nothing bet on price direction within a fixed time window. Scholars across schools rule them maysir (gambling).
The Shariah issues for Moroccan traders
- Pure zero-sum bet on a price outcome
- No transfer of any underlying asset
- Time-bounded payoff is the definition of maysir
- Most platforms are unregulated
The halal path
Avoid entirely. If you want short-term price exposure halal-style, use spot forex on a swap-free account with proper risk management.
Scholar note: No mainstream scholar permits binary options. The structural defects are inherent to the contract.
