Working For Employer Dealing In Futures And Options
May I work for an employer dealing in futures and options?
It is unlawful to work for an employer whose primary business is futures and options (even if one does not participate directly in the transactions), unless one has absolutely no other means of supporting one’s dependents (such as selling the excess of one’s saleable wealth or accepting work at a low-paying job), in which case one may remain with the unlawful work as long as one is actively looking for another source of income and seeking God’s forgiveness and help in the process.
