Permissibility Status Of Earnings By Trading Indices On Funded Account
This form of earning is problematic for the following reasons: 1 . The trader is effectively enabling the trading firm to profit from investments in non‑permissible (haram) businesses by contributing his skills and expertise. 2 . Based on the details provided, it appears that the trader’s compensation is drawn from the same investment‑return pool generated through companies involved in impermissible activities. If no fully Shariah‑compliant indices are available, the trader should opt for those in which the majority of investments are halal and only a small portion is objectionable. It is preferable that the minor portion of income attributable to haram activities be given away in charity rather than consumed. I would also request Dr. Irfan Shahzad Sahab ( @Irfan76 ) to share his valuable insight on this matter.
