Taking part in the al-Raajihi national program for buying and selling Saudi shares in by installments
Question: 73296
What is the ruling on the national al-Raajihi bank program for buying and selling Saudi shares by instalments?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
After
studying the national program for buying and selling by instalments on the
website of the al-Raajihi company, it is clear that it is based on
muraabahah in shares, whereby the company (the bank) buys the shares that
the customer wants, then sells them to him by instalments, and the customer
is free to choose the shares that he wants to buy.
It says in
the advertising: … it gives the customer the opportunity to own shares in
the companies that he wants, in the amount he wants, then he pays them off
by instalments.
It is known
that some shares are pure (halaal) and some are mixed, and this company
deals in both types. What we believe in this site is that it is haraam to
deal in mixed shares.
Based on
this, there is nothing wrong with joining the national program for buying
and selling shares, so long as one only buys shares in pure companies, not
mixed shares.
There
follows a list of the pure shares that exist at present, according to Shaykh
Dr. Muhammad ibn Sa’ood al-‘Usaymi:
1.al-Raajihi
2.al-Ghadhaa’iyyah
3.al-Ta’meer
4.Naadak
5.Haa’il al-Zira’iyyah
6.Tabook al-Zira’iyyah
7.al-Jawf al-Zira’iyyah
8.al-Qaseem al-Zira’iyyah
9.al-Khazaf
10.al-Jibs
11.al-Naql al-Jamaa’i
12.al-Naql al-Barri
13.Makkah
14.Teebah
15.Febco
16.al-Sahra’
17.Isment al-‘Arabiyyah
18.Ittihaad Ittisaalaat
19.al-Lajeen
20.Bank al-Bilaad
21.al-Ghaaz
22.al-Maraa’i
23.al-Mawaashi
It should be
noted that this list may be added to, or names may be taken off the list. It
is essential to ask about the shares of the company when wanting to purchase
them, to find out whether they are pure or not.
Dr. Muhammad
ibn Sa’ood al-‘Usaymi is also quoted as saying:
As for
buying pure shares from al-Raajihi on the basis of paying later on, there is
nothing wrong with that.
And Allaah
knows best.
