It is permissible to speculate in stocks, provided that the necessary conditions for the permissibility of speculation and the permissibility of dealing in stocks are met. However, it is not permissible to deal in the shares of companies that engage in usurious loans or impermissible investments, due to the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
