The answer

It is not permissible to buy shares in companies that deposit their money with usurious interest, whether these companies are in Islamic or non-Islamic countries. This is because buying shares in such a case is considered an engagement in riba (usury), whereas buying their products is merely dealing with someone who possesses (unlawful) money. There is a difference between the two matters.
