Fatwa ID: 363-357/H=5/1436-U گنجائش تو ہے البتہ اکر آپ کے حصہ میں سودی رقم آجائے تو اس کو بلانیت ثواب غرباء فقراء مساکین کو وبال سے بچنے کی نیت کرکے دیدیں، نیز وقتا فوقتاً سودی قرض لینے کے خلاف آواز اٹھاتے رہیں اور ایسی کمپنیوں میں شیئرز خریدنے سے اجتناب کریں تو بہتر ہے۔

Sample letter to raise issue in AGM Regarding interest bearing debt or Non-Sharia revenue of the investee company

Islamic Scholars who have expertise in the field of Finance mainly describes 5 criteria’s according to which a company is Shari’ah Compliant/Non-Complaint for a Muslim.
(See details https://blog.islamicstock.in/our-screening-criteria/ )

As above mentioned in the Deoband Fatwa that a Muslim Investor must have to raise his voice in opposition to Harām (Prohibited) Activities either in written form or simply orally at the Annual General Meeting;

So, if you are investor in the company and if you receive an email to attend AGM (Annual General Meeting) you can write an E-Mail below is the sample letter for Investors (For learning purpose only)


Subject: – Issue of interest-Bearing Debt or Non-Sharia Revenue of the Company
 
Respected Sir/Madam,
Greetings
I Myself Mr. Xyz (Write your NAME here)
PAN: ABCDE1234F ((Write your PAN here)

I am glad to say that I am a Share Holder of your Company & would love to be a part of it for the future too as God (Our Creator) encouraged business because it benefits the mankind in parallel it is a kind of good deeds which earn the benefits in this world as a livelihood and the day after here as a Paradise for those who believes in God and follow his orders.

On the other side of business God discourages the usury/interest bearing debt which is also almost businessmen and companies adopted that’s causes the harm in our society let’s see how,

There are many reasons why interest money is considered not permissible, the primary reason is it is exploitative. Because interest is based on exploitation. One has to pay interest from day 1 whether he makes profit or loss. Risk is all for his. In Islam the investor shares both profit and loss and is justified in claiming part of the profit.

Interest doesn’t really control the value of money; rather it manipulates its value. Higher interest rates make money harder to come by, shrinking the economy, whereas lower interest rates make money easier to come by, inflating the economy.

The reason is pretty simple. If capital is cheap (low interest rates) it is easier to get money to hire more people, build more buildings, engage in other businesses, etc. you keep spending money, because it is easy to borrow more. However, if capital is expensive (high interest rates) there is less money to engage in those activities. You are less likely to spend money because it will be harder to borrow more.

The reason why religions are against interest, specifically usury, is actually quite simple. God commands us to be productive and build. You are allowed to charge for work you do. But you need to work. Lending out money and charging usury is considered charging for nothing. In other words, you are producing and taking without producing anything of real value. Basically, you are doing nothing and getting something and it’s called exploitation of lender.

So being a Muslim, I adhere to some investing principles laid down by our scholars in the field of finance. I have observed that the interest-bearing debts of your company is high & income from interest & other resources are also high. We have observed that companies whose interest-bearing debt is high, fails to grow somehow in future, we all know paying extra amount for a debt is never a good thing whether its business or any other thing & this is the reason that I completely reject this interest-bearing debt & the interest income & other such types of income.

I hope that you have understood my points here & I kindly request your good office to gradually quit from any interest-based activities for the betterment of business.
Looking forward to be with you with a bright future.

Thanks & Regards
