What is the Islamic legal ruling on designing a program that displays the prices of metals, currencies, and stocks in global stock exchanges, and provides reports on their rise and fall, in exchange for a monthly subscription?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Global stock markets, whether for metals, currencies, or stocks, mix the permissible with the impermissible. Therefore, it is not permissible to design a program that helps those dealing in them to conduct prohibited transactions, even by providing them with information, due to Allah's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
