What is the ruling on investing in stock market shares if speculation, supply and demand, and the raising and lowering of share prices are controlled by capital, and there is no logical connection between share trading and the company's activity, taking into account the fatwas that permit investment in companies with permissible dealings?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to invest in the stock market in shares of companies engaged in lawful activities, and which do not deal with usurious banks, provided that the detailed conditions mentioned in No. 10779 are adhered to. The rise in stock prices resulting from the manipulation of major traders does not prohibit investment in the stock market if the investor adheres to the conditions; the sin of manipulation remains upon the manipulators.
