The Ruling on the Condition of an Increase in a Loan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner:
Shaykh, I have a question. I asked a man for a loan, and he said to me, “I will give you a loan, but on the condition that you increase it.” Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, this is forbidden. This condition is not permissible, because it is a benefit in the loan. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 7:99

Every loan, which leads to a benefit, is usury.
كُلُّ قَرْضٍ جَرَّ مَنْفَعَةً فَهُوَ رِبًا.
