Fixed profit returns on gold investment
Question
I want verification about the recent online gold investments (Dubai gold souk, golden premier club, etc.), where you invest a certain amount of money and wait for some weeks to get back your money with a fixed profit of like 100%/50%/150% etc. Is this ok in Islam or is it forbidden?
Answer
How is it that the returns are fixed whereas the gold rate continues fluctuating?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
