Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Imagine. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we clear our consciences regarding the riba (usury or interest) banks in this country?
Answer:
Do not deal with them; by not dealing with them, you clear your consciences. If you do not deal with them through riba (usury or interest), the sin is upon them and upon those who deal with them. As for you, if you do not deal with them through riba (usury or interest), the harm is upon them and not upon you, because you have no means to remove them from the country. Yes.
