Question:
What is the stronger position in your view regarding the operative cause of riba (usury or interest)?
Answer:
The Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) chose that it is in the two currencies, and as for the remaining categories, it is the combination of both: being edible, and being measured or weighed. A decision was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars several years ago to adopt this view. Yes.
