Despite the fact that Sharia law forbids lending out money at interest, Forex and metals spot trading seems to be exempted from this rule. The reason behind this is that positions in spot currency pairs and metals are rolled overnight at a certain cost, the so called swap cost. In effect, open orders that are rolled over for the following business day are subject to a daily roll over fee, the imposition of which contradicts the laws of Islam. However, ethics of people with Muslim beliefs that fall under the interest free principles must be respected.
