The Ruling on Buying Commercial Shares and the Difference Between the Permissible and the Forbidden
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible to buy commercial shares? And if that is permissible, how do we distinguish between permissible shares and forbidden shares?
Answer:
Shares differ. If the shares are in properties, lands, or shared houses, and a partner sells his share in these houses, or in these companies, or in these cars, or in these factories, there is nothing wrong with that. As for shares that are in riba (usury or interest) investment, they are not permissible. Shares that are invested in riba investment are not permissible to buy.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
