Question: 10161

He buys shares in companies that deal in permissible things with his own money through the bank.

What is the ruling?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
