The answer

It is permissible to invest money in Islamic banks that adhere to Sharia controls in Mudarabah (profit-sharing) contracts, such as not guaranteeing the capital or specifying a known profit amount, as this invalidates the contract and makes the profits usurious interest. It is not permissible to invest in non-Islamic banks that invest in forbidden things, because that is aiding in sin. A Muslim must be wary of doubtful matters concerning their wealth, for usury is stripped of blessing and is fought by Allah and His Messenger.
