A friend of mine holds shares in a israeli based company. Could you shed some light on weather this is allowed ?
Question
The company is called GeoInteractive Media. at present the share price has been tumbling due to the conflict in the holy lands. due to this he is reluctant to sell these shares May Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala reward you well for your good work.
Answer
It is permissible to have shares in a non-Muslim (Jewish, etc.) company.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
