Trading rulings

Is it halal to sell everything and sit in cash?

Answered by the ShariaQuant team

Yes. There is no obligation to stay invested, and choosing not to hold a falling asset is simply a decision about your own property. Just be aware that cash still counts toward your zakat if you hold it across your zakat date.

Spot-only risk rules

This is Shariah screening and education, not financial advice. Rulings on newer products differ between scholars, so where a question is disputed we say so rather than pick a side for you. If your situation is unusual, ask your own scholar.
