Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on participating in some companies that have riba dealings?

Answer:
Do not participate in them as long as riba is among their earnings; do not participate in them. It was reported in a hadith that one dirham of riba is equivalent to thirty-six acts of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse).
Usury has seventy-three categories, the least one in sin is as that of a man who marries (has sexual relations with) his motherالربا سبعون حوبا أيسرها مثل أن ينكح الرجل أمه
Bulugh al-Maram 7:64
. One dirham, so what about the one who receives millions and hundreds of thousands from riba and says, "This is easy, this is a trivial matter, and it does no harm, even if it is just one dirham." Yes.
