Investopedia explains 'Gharar'
There are strict rules in Islamic finance against transactions that are highly uncertain or may cause any injustice or deceit against any of the parties.
In finance, gharar is observed within derivative transactions, such as forwards, futures and options, in short selling, and in speculation. In Islamic finance, most derivative contracts are forbidden and considered invalid because of the uncertainty involved in the future delivery of the underlying asset.
