Question

Can we invest money on shares?

Answer

If there is no interest/Ribaa involved then it will be permissible to invest money into shares, otherwise not. [Editor's Notes]: 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. For details, please review the following chapter of "Islamic Finance" by Shaykh Mufti Taqi Usmaani: Principles of Shariah Governing Islamic Investment Funds: (http://www.darululoomkhi.edu.pk/fiqh/islamicfinance/islamicinvestment.html)

And Allah knows best.
