Question:
What is the danger of riba, especially the riba found in financial transactions?
Answer:
The danger of riba is immense because it destroys the blessing,[Al-Baqarah 2:276], because the one who gives charity gives and benefits others. As for the one who deals in riba, he takes and does not give; that is, he drains the wealth of people and offers them nothing. In fact, he hoards the riba, spends nothing of it, and benefits no one. As for the one who gives charity, he bestows, gives, benefits people, and helps the needy. So there is a difference between the one who gives charity and the one who deals in riba, [Al-Baqarah 2:276].

يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ
