What is the ruling on inherited IBM company shares, and are they considered unlawful or mixed wealth, and how should one dispose of them?

We cannot rule on the shares of a specific company, but we provide two criteria for determining the ruling on shares:

1. The company's activity must be permissible. 2. The company must not deposit a portion of shareholders' money in usurious banks to earn interest.

The Islamic Fiqh Academy has decided the following: 1. Establishing a shareholding company with permissible objectives and activities is religiously permissible. 2. It is forbidden to invest in companies whose primary purpose is unlawful. 3. It is not permissible for a Muslim to buy shares of companies and banks that deal with usury if the buyer is aware of it. 4. If a person buys shares of a company, unaware that it deals with usury, and then becomes aware, he must withdraw from it. This is because buying shares in usurious companies with knowledge of their usurious dealings means the buyer participates in usurious transactions, and delegating a prohibited act is not permissible.

You can verify this by examining the company's system and activity, or by asking specialists.
