For investment in companies to be permissible, the field of investment must be lawful, and the company must not guarantee the capital, as this would transform it into an interest-based loan. There must be an agreement on a percentage of the profit, not the capital. Furthermore, the company must avoid interest-based borrowing or depositing funds in interest-bearing accounts. Network marketing based on gambling and games of chance, which requires paying a subscription or purchasing a product in exchange for potential gain, is forbidden.
