What is the ruling on investing in shares if the brokerage firm deals in both permissible (halal) and impermissible (haram) shares? Is it permissible to take the profit realized from selling shares that were bought through it? And is it permissible to invest in the shares of a company whose activity is permissible (halal) but which deals with usurious (riba-based) loans?
The company engages in brokering securities without investigating the Sharia compliance of its dealings. Thus, it acts as a broker for transactions involving usury (riba) or what is unlawful (haram), as well as for transactions that do not involve such elements.
