The Shariah issues for Moroccan traders

  • Sector screen (no alcohol, gambling, conventional finance, adult, pork, etc.)
  • Financial screen (debt and interest-income ratios)
  • Margin = riba
  • Short selling impermissible

The halal path

Use a screener like Zoya, Islamicly, or Musaffa to verify each ticker. Trade on a cash account. Purify any incidental non-compliant income (~5% of dividends typically).

Scholar note: AAOIFI Standard No. 21 and Dow Jones Islamic Market Index methodology codify the screens.
