Is investing in the stock market halal or haram in Islam? In this insightful discussion, Hafsa asks about the permissibility of investing in shares when her brother-in-law encourages her to join the market. He claims that as long as one avoids interest-based (riba) companies such as banks, investment is fine — but is that really true from an Islamic perspective?

In this video, the scholar clearly explains the Islamic ruling (fatwa) regarding investing in the stock market, breaking it down in simple terms. He begins by clarifying that the stock market itself is not haram — it’s simply a marketplace, much like a shopping mall. What matters is what you buy and how you buy it.

If a Muslim invests their own money, not borrowed on margin, leverage, or through interest-based loans, and chooses shares in companies whose core business is halal, such as oil companies, manufacturing firms, or technology providers, then that investment is permissible (halal).

However, if the company’s main activity involves riba (interest), alcohol, gambling, pork products, or any other haram trade, then buying its shares is forbidden, because as a shareholder you become a partner in that business. The scholar explains that even if you don’t personally approve of their riba dealings, owning part of the company means you share in its profits and losses — including the haram portion.

To invest Islamically, Muslims must ensure the following:

💰 Use your own money, not borrowed or margin funds.

🏢 Invest only in companies with halal business activities.

🚫 Avoid firms that finance projects through interest-based loans or deposit money in riba-based banks.

📈 Be a long-term investor — not a speculator or day-trader who profits from uncertainty or gambling-like trades.

The scholar emphasizes that buying shares in such compliant companies makes you a rightful owner, and as long as the business itself is halal and free from riba, your earnings and dividends are lawful in Islam.
