Assalam Alaikum wrwb,
I live in North America and work for a IT company. Alhamdulillah I make quite a bit of good living with little or no saving. A friend of mine who is or seems to be a good practising muslim, introduced me to STOCK OPTIONS, basically I studied 300pages book to understand how it works. Now when I am at the Urge of starting an account and start working on CALL, PUT, PURCHASE of stocks, Before that I felt I should refer more on it bcozbecause I really dont want to earn any haram living. I know the basics of chosing the right investment(i.e. No riba, check for the equity source of earning(no banks, insurances etc). I request ifIf people of knowledge throw some light on this on the basis of QURAN and HADEETHAHADEETH. Looking for unambigious answers. I also have intention(neeyat) to give 20% for charity on all my stock earnings.
Jazakallahu khair in advance and mayMay Allah(swt) bless your efforts!!
