As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

1. If a company is involved in research and development for the treatment of certain health conditions through medicinal marijuana, then it will be permissible to invest in such a company subject to the conditions outlined in the following link: http://askimam.org/public/question_detail/46129
