[Hedging currencies]

السؤال

Dear Dr. Kahf, As-Salam `Alaykum. I have 3 questions : 1. I am working for an export organization. Due to US Dollar weakening against major currencies, is it permissible to hedge the exchange loss on our Dollar receivables by taking forward / option contracts ? 2. If it is not permissible, then how can we hedge our exchange loss ? Please note we cannot factor in a lower exchange rate in our costing since it will make our products uncompetitive in the global market. Please advise ! 3. Is all forms of insurance are prohibited ? Can we take insurance on our stock, business assets (plant, machinery, office) ? Please note that in our country, there is no recourse to Islamic finance. Then, how can we meet our insurance and banking requirements ?
