Do you have any suggestion? 1. Tell me about shares. what type is halal and which type is haram? 2. Is that recommendable that after every namaz (Salah) doing sajda sahu ? 3. Suggest me the best in obtaining the Quran in CD or book form in English and Urdu which consists context of each and every verse i.e. historical background in detail.

Answer

Dear Sister, 1) One cardinal principle that you need to keep in mind is that, any company which does business, which is compliant with the Shariah, where profit and loss are equally shared among the stakeholders or partners, then it is permissible to participate in that business, otherwise not. [Editor's note: for details, please review the following chapter of "Islamic Finance" by Shaykh Mufti Taqi Usmaani: Principles of Shariah Governing Islamic Investment Funds: (Click here) 2) Sajda-e-sahu is needed when you miss any wajib act of salaah unintentionally, otherwise not. 3) There is an excellent tafseer of the Noble Quran called "Maariful Quran" and you can find that in both Urdu and English translation and explanations that is compiled by Shaykh Mufti Taqi Usmaani (Damat Barakatuhum).

And Allah knows best.
