You can opt for a broker who doesn't provide Swap. Some time they call themselves Muslim friendly brokers. It comes from the fact that it is not allowed religiously for Muslims to earn or pay interest on the money placed in the bank or in this case a Broker. I may be wrong on this one, perhaps someone else can elaborate.

Is forex currency trading halaal?
By halaal I'm assuming you mean to ask if it complies with the Islamic law. Some forex brokers have set up Islamic accounts specifically for this purpose. They are know as Islamic or Swap free accounts. The basic premise of the "islamic-safe" type of forex accounts comes from Shariah law interpretation that muslim cannot receive anything in return for giving. This means no interest can be given or received on any financial account.

What is the difference between cross currency basis swap and cross currency fx swap?
A cross-currency basis swap agreement is a contract in which one party borrows one currency from another party and simultaneously lends the same value, at current spot rates, of a second currency to that party. The parties involved in basis swaps tend to be financial institutions, either acting on their own or as agents for non-financial corporations. An FX swap agreement is a contract in which one party borrows one currency from, and simultaneously lends another to, the second party. Each party uses the repayment obligation to its counterparty as collateral and the amount of repayment is fixed at the FX forward rate as of the start of the contract.
