Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
I have read an extensive article on this website by Mufti Taqi Usmani regarding the permissibility of investing in the stock market. Although he seemed to make a very good case for the permissibility of investing in certain kinds of stocks if certain conditions are met, my heart still feels it is haram. Given this, would it be permitted for me to invest in the stock market, relying on the fatwa of Mufti Taqi Usmani and fulfilling the conditions that he outlined, even if in my heart I don’t believe that it is permitted and believe that the respected scholar is in error, even though I myself am not at the level of discernment?
