Religion by Interest and Its Effect on the Wife and Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Abdullah says: I have a question for the Shaykh. My husband borrows money with interest. I tried to advise him, but he did not respond to my advice. Will my children and I be punished because of his work?
Answer:
Yes, lending money with interest, meaning dirhams for dirhams plus an increase, is not permissible. This is riba (usury or interest), and riba is forbidden by the consensus of the Muslims, and it is illicit.[Al-Baqarah 2:276] Therefore, it is not permissible to deal in riba or to consume riba. [Ali 'Imran 3:130] Perhaps you will be shown mercy. [Ali 'Imran 3:131-132] Yes.

Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities
يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِO you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا أَضْعَافًا مُّضَاعَفَةً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ(131) And fear the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers. (132) And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy.
وَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّتِي أُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَافِرِينَ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَThe presenter:
