Question:
Making riba permissible through deceptive means; he asks whether this counts as a type of kufr (disbelief)?
Answer:
This is like the ruse of the Jews when Allah forbade them the fat of carrion; they rendered it, meaning they melted it, and then sold it and ate the proceeds. This is a ruse to circumvent the haram (forbidden), and it is not permissible.
