What is the ruling on selling one's national ID card to a company so it can purchase a larger number of shares in a field restricted to citizens only?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Selling cards granted by the state is not permissible for two reasons: First, it constitutes consuming people's wealth unlawfully. This card is not considered property among people; rather, it is a right granted to you for personal use, and not every right is permissible to sell. Second, selling it may lead to self-abasement and humiliation if the state discovers it, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is not befitting for a believer to humiliate himself."
