Frequently Asked Questions about
Islamic Trading Accounts

  • What is an Islamic Trading Account?

    An Islamic trading account, also known as a swap-free account, is designed for Muslim traders who wish to participate in the financial markets in accordance with Sharia principles. The defining feature of such an account is the removal of swap or interest charges on overnight positions, as charging or earning interest (Riba) is prohibited under Islamic law. These accounts provide a framework for halal trading without compromising religious beliefs.

  • What is the main difference between an Islamic and a standard trading account?

    The main difference lies in how overnight positions are treated. In a standard account, interest (swap) fees are applied when positions are kept open into the next trading day. In an Islamic account, no interest is charged or earned on overnight positions, making the account swap-free. This distinction is crucial for traders seeking to avoid interest-based transactions.

  • How is Forex and CFD trading made compliant with Islamic principles?

    The issue of whether forex and CFD trading is halal often depends on the treatment of interest. By eliminating swaps, Islamic accounts ensure that trading activity is free from Riba, thereby aligning with Sharia guidelines. This structure allows Muslim traders to engage in financial markets while maintaining compliance with Islamic principles.

  • What can be traded, and are there different fees on an Islamic account?

    Islamic accounts provide access to the same range of instruments available in standard accounts, such as currency pairs, commodities, indices, and CFDs on other assets. While swaps are not applied, some providers may charge administrative fees on positions held open for extended periods, and certain instruments may be excluded from swap-free trading. Traders should review the specific terms and conditions of the account to understand applicable fees and limitations.

  • How can a trader open an Islamic account?

    At M4Markets, clients can apply for an Islamic (swap-free) account directly through their Client Area. After registering and opening a trading account, traders may request Islamic account status, which removes overnight swap charges in line with Sharia principles. Once approved, clients can trade forex, commodities, indices, shares, and cryptocurrencies under the same trading conditions, with the exception of swaps.
