Assalamu Alaykum,
I wanted to ask if trading cryptocurrencies or stocks for some minutes is haraam if you are guaranteed to always make profits.
As Salaamu Alaykum.
I think the question should be changed to whether trading is permissible.
The time you are doing it for does not matter.
And it is not guaranteed that you will always make profits. In trading, there are risks. In Islam, risk is a requirement for business/trading(…? - I am confused about this point), from my understanding. The following Mufti made a point along this line somewhere, but I cannot quite remember at what point in the video
I am not giving a fatwa here. That’s for the Mufti’s here to do.
Jazak Allah Khair.
I just noticed the Mufti in the video is the same Mufti on this site! As Salaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu Mufti! … and everyone, of course
