Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: When a company or a bank offers its shares for subscription, conflicting fatwas are issued, one saying it is permissible and the other saying it is forbidden. What is the Muslim's position regarding these fatwas?
Answer:
The position is to act on the hadith you heard: Stop there. Leave them, at the very least, as they are ambiguous. Avoid them, my brother, and seek your livelihood from clear matters: buying and selling land, real estate, fabrics, food, and cars. I mean, find good fields where there is no doubt. Leave what is doubtful. Yes.
