Question
A woman received shares as a gift from her workplace. The shares are registered in her name, and she can withdraw the money only in five years. Is there an issue of ribit (interest) in this?
Answer
If these are shares in a company owned by non‑Jews, it is permitted; if it is a company owned by Jews, it is forbidden.
