The answer

It is impermissible to purchase shares in the "Yansab" company because it is a mixed company that deals with riba (interest/usury). The resolution of the Fiqh Academy stipulated the impermissibility of investing in companies that occasionally engage in prohibited dealings, even if their primary activities are lawful. However, if the company obliges an employee to own shares and there is no alternative, and the employee is compelled to do so, then the employee is excused in Islamic law.
