Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to acknowledge riba (usury or interest) between disbelievers, some of them with others, in the land of Islam?
Answer:
If they consider it lawful, it is none of our business. As for eggs, what? If they consider it forbidden, we prevent them from what they consider forbidden in their religion. As for what they consider permissible in their religion, we do not interfere with them. They take the pig, what? They consider it permissible in their religion, it is none of our business. But if they do it secretly in the lands of Islam, we do not intervene in our affairs. Yes.
