Hence, Islam prohibits Muslim from investing in usurious business. As per injunction of Holy Quran and Sunnah (SAW) you cannot purchase the shares of any bank involved in non Islamic banking.

Some reliable sources have quoted that a well known Beverages national company (Listed Public Ltd Company) is also involved in the production of wines. When the matter is brought in the knowledge of a Mufti of Rawalpindi (Maulan Mufti Ismail Tooro, Raees Darul Iftaa Jamia Islamia Kashmir Road Rawalpind,who also have wide knowledge of economics ) he gave the FATWA that no one can involve in the sale and purchase of shares of the said company. So in the light of above Fatwa you cannot purchase shares of any non Islamic bank.
For detailed fatwa please contact

Maulana Mufti Ismail Tooro

Allah Knows Better.

Awais
