The Ruling on a Loan That Yields a Benefit

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salama says: Shaykh, this hadith or this athar (report from a Companion or successor) states: Every loan that yields a benefit is riba (usury or interest).

Answer:
Yes, it is a hadith that is one of the principles of Islam. The loan referred to here is the good loan intended to draw near to Allah and fulfill the need of a Muslim, which is then returned to the lender without taking any benefit or profit from him. If any benefit or profit is taken from him, that is riba. The ruling on riba, yes.
