What is the ruling on selling a company to another mixed company that borrows with usury or uses music in its advertisements, and does the ruling on selling grapes to one who makes wine from them apply to this?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to sell a company engaged in a permissible activity for a permissible recompense, even if the buyer deals in usury, because this is not like selling something directly used for unlawful purposes. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, interacted with the Jews, even though he knew that some of them engaged in usury. However, if the recompense for the sale consists of shares from a company that deals in usury, then it is not permissible to buy these shares.
