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 a problem of interest (ribit) in this?
Answer
If these are shares in a company owned by non‑Jews, it is permitted; but if it is a company owned by Jews, it is prohibited.
