Is 100 shares a lot?
Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia law) does not establish a fixed numeric percentage limit on commercial profit margins, meaning earning a one hundred percent profit margin or higher on a sale is permissible under specific ethical conditions. Islamic commercial law emphasizes fair trade, honesty, transparency, and the mutual consent of buyer and seller, strictly prohibiting price gouging, deception, monopolies, hoarding essential goods, and exploitation during times of crisis. As long as a merchant acquires a product legitimately, discloses all relevant defects, and sells it in a transparent market without coercion or unfair exploitation, making a substantial profit is fully aligned with Islamic financial ethics.
