Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on buying and selling stocks via the screen that is famous now?
Answer:
This is unknown. This is unknown. And the screen does not make the thing known. It only depicts an image, and Allah knows the truth best. So this is a sale of an unknown item and a sale of an absent item. A sale of an absent and unknown item. Also, it is not known, and it is a condition in the item being sold that it be known. And this is not known. Seeing it on the screen does not make it known; rather, it is something they lure you with its image only, and it may not have a reality. So avoid this; there is no doubt that it is safer for the conscience and more cautious, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
