Cash Trading vs. Margin Financing: Why Leverage is Prohibited in Islam
MRA Wiqaya Compliance Sep 7, 2026 6 min read

In conventional finance, margin lending allows traders to buy stocks with borrowed capital on interest. This creates severe debt risk and violates the core Islamic prohibition of Riba (interest) and Gharar (excessive uncertainty).
At MRA Wiqaya, our systems strictly enforce 100% cash-settled transactions. Clients only trade with what they own, ensuring ethical peace of mind and resilience against forced liquidations.
