Is Forex Spot and Gold CFD trading, with no physical ownership or delivery, allowed in Shia Fiqh such as through a non-Muslim broker like Exness?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Physical possession is must in selling according to Shariah. Forex Spot and CFD trading do not have possession so it is not a proper selling and buying according to Shariah, but it looks like commitment to buy or sell based on studying the market. Such commitment is permissible despite it is not a sale transaction in Shariah, nor gambling but just commitment to buy or sell under certain conditions after studying the market's movement.

Why is Jafari Fiqh, from Imam Jaʿfar al-Sadiq (AS), still questioned and not considered part of Ahlus Sunnah just as Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, and Imam Malik have established their respective schools of Fiqh?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Simply because the tyrant governments which followed the Saqeefa have supported their own sects and opposed the Fiqh of Ahlul Bayt (AS). They admit that their four leaders named in your question came long after Ahlul Bayt (AS) and were never more knowledgeable than Ahlul Bayt (AS). Abu Hanifa of the Hanafi sect was reported to claim that he studied under imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) for two years and was nothing if those two years were not there لولا السنتان لهلك النعمان.

Fiqh of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) is the exact Fiqh of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) while the Fiqh of others are based in their own opinions and different understandings. Yet, many tyrant governments don’t consider Fiqh of Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) just because of their political stand against Ahlul Bayt (AS) which they took it from their previous leaders of Saqeefa.
