Question: 

Is it permissible to buy shares in sasol, clicks, Dis-Chem etc? 

Answer: 

According to our understanding, buying shares in any of these companies would require investing on the JSE. Our Darul Ifta has reservations in investing on share markets such as the JSE, hence we advise abstention.
