What is the ruling on speculation in stock markets, buying shares and bonds, and the resulting profit or loss?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not possible to issue a comprehensive ruling on all stock market transactions; rather, each transaction is judged individually. Most of these transactions are likely prohibited due to involving usury (riba), ambiguity (), or gambling (qimar). The matter must be detailed to rule on it.
