Speculation in the Stock Market

Question
Is speculation in the stock market permissible or forbidden?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the speculation is in the shares of companies whose financial transactions comply with Sharia, it is permissible as long as the Sharia conditions for speculation are observed; otherwise, it is not permissible, and God knows best.
