Hedging FX Risk on Foreign Share Purchases

[SKJ]

Praise be to Allah

Is it permissibe to hedge the fx risk on Amercian share purchases using CFDs?

For example I want to invest £10000 in an American sharia compliant company but if the GBP/USD rate goes up I will make a loss. Could I open a long GBP/USD CFD position for 10K units in order to hedge my fx exposure?

Jazakhallah
