Is trading on the Egyptian Stock Exchange permissible or forbidden?
Working in the stock market is permissible if one can avoid Sharia violations, but violations are numerous therein. These include dealing in shares of usurious banks, companies that produce alcoholic beverages and tobacco, and shares of permissible companies that engage in usury, as well as the margin system, index selling, and futures contracts in transactions that require immediate possession, and dealing in bonds.
