Is a person who takes the safest course for his religion considered one who fears Allah by avoiding doubtful matters?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person steps away from an issue on which scholars have disagreed, in order to be safer for his religion and thereby avoid doubtful matters like stocks today, is that correct?

Answer:
What do you mean? If a person steps away from an issue on which scholars have disagreed, in order to be safer for his religion and to avoid doubtful matters like stocks, there is no doubt that stepping away from disagreement is required and safer for the religion. However, regarding stocks, the scholars who disagreed on this matter are not the recognized scholars; they have no statement on it. This is merely the opinion of students of knowledge and beginners who do not study jurisprudence and who did not know, meaning, the matters of these companies, and they rushed to issue a ruling. As for the ruling of a recognized scholar, I do not know of anyone who has issued a ruling on this. Yes.
