What is the ruling on dealing in the stock market with multiples of the capital through a brokerage firm that stipulates the settlement of debt on the same day or the following day, and takes a commission for each buying and selling operation? Is this considered a loan that draws benefit (riba) or a pledging of shares? And what is the ruling on the work of a broker whose salary is determined by the amount of commissions?

Margin trading through a broker is a loan from the broker to the client in exchange for a commission, and this is forbidden because it is a loan that draws a conditional benefit. Accordingly, it is forbidden for all parties to engage in it or assist in it.
