Sharia and securities trading

Sharia and securities trading is when people buy and sell shares in companies, and invest in different types of investments. Sharia is a set of religious laws from the Muslim faith that govern how people should live. It outlines how people should behave in their everyday lives, including how to invest money responsibly. When trading securities, people should make sure that the investments they are making meet the standards of Sharia, for example, by not investing in certain companies or industries, such as those producing alcohol or gambling. By trading in a way that follows Sharia, people can ensure that their investments are both responsible and benefit the community.
