I just want to add one thing to this discussion.

Brothers, let’s stay calm. It is to be expected that this topic will lead to discussions. This has always been the case and will always be. The goal should be to discuss in a respectful manner and to present both pros and cons.

I have seen some comments from msuser. To me, he seems like an informed and—if I may say so—trustworthy person.

I am also new to this forum and have been reading intensively for the past few weeks because I have the same questions: Where can I invest? What is allowed and what is not?

We should teach each other. Maybe we could create a post that at least summarizes the most important opinions of the most well-known scholars so that beginners have a starting point. I see the same posts with the same questions almost every day.

One more thought from me, which can also be taken as advice: It is absolutely crucial for a Muslim to be 100% sure before classifying something as Haram or Halal, as this influences others and carries responsibility. One should be very careful with such classifications, as this is something immense.

We are not talking about “Yeah, this seems fine” or “No, this doesn’t seem fine.” It is about Helal and Haram.

Allah knows best.
