Distribution of Shares by Bank Hapoalim
Question
Bank Hapoalim is distributing shares to its customers. Is there any prohibition in holding such a share, due to concerns such as ribbis or Shabbos, or is this type of share permitted? Or perhaps it does not require any hechsher at all. (I am attaching a photo of the bank’s advertisement.)
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
Our Rav, HaGaon HaRav Amram Fried shlit”a ruled:
There is no problem in holding these shares.
