What is the ruling on the annual profits distributed by the company to its employees and deposited as shares subject to market fluctuations (increase and decrease), which cannot be received until after five years?

It is permissible to deposit profits as shares in companies under two conditions: First, that the company's activity or transactions are not involved in anything forbidden, such as usury, gambling, excessive uncertainty (gharar), alcohol, or pork. Second, that the depositing of profits as shares is with the consent of the profit owner and their agreement to the company's terms and regulations. It is permissible to work for the company if its work is lawful, and forbidden if its work is unlawful.
