Pearl of Wisdom

that whenever the Prophet (SAWA) looked at a man who pleased him, he used to ask, 'Does he have a profession?' If they said, 'No', he would say, 'He has lost his worth in my eye.' They would then ask, ?O Messenger of Allah! Why is that?!' He would reply, 'Because when the believer has no profession, he subsists off his religion.'

Question : #630 Category: Business / Investment
Subject: Stocks
Question: Would it be haraam if I invested in stocks ? This investing wouldn't be considered gambling of any sorts?
Answer: Investing in Stock Market in which returns are not guaranteed would be permissible. Such investments, however, could become Haraam because of secondary reasons: like if one invests in a Company that deals in Haraam commodity, such as a Brewery or Casino. The best option for a Muslim investing in Stock Market would be the "ethical funds" since such funds do not deal in alcohol, tobacco, gambling or environmentally harmful products.
