Buying shares in Netflix

· 27 Rajab 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I wanted to buy some stocks on Netflix as there seems to be a high potential for it to rise up in profits, what would be your advise?

Answer

Since this is used for haraam (watching movies), you should refrain from this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
