INVESTING VS GAMBLING: What is the difference from an Islamic perspective?

THREAD

In the context of risks, trading and gambling are both regarded as speculative risks. In both trading and gambling, one can profit or lose. However, there are key differences between them. 1) Gambling is staking of wealth by two or more parties where the winner wins all & the loser loses all. In other words, gambling is winning at the expense of another’s loss. Whereas in investing, counter-parties & shareholders (ordinary shares) collectively gain or lose.

2. Feeding the poor = reward of fasting day & praying the nights [Bukhari]

3. Orphan care = companionship of the Prophet in Paradise [Bukhari]

4. Supporting widows = reward of striving in path of God [Muslim]
