The occurrence of riba in items that are not weighed or measured
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
No, there is no power or might except in Allah.
The questioner:
Does riba apply to things other than food, gold, and silver, such as a man selling a car for two cars, or a book for two books, or a sheep for two sheep?
The Shaykh:
No, this is a matter of riba, but it is not included in the things that incur riba. Riba applies to foodstuffs and measured items, and to the customary, known weighed items. As for selling a car for two cars, or a car for camels, or a car for a house or land, or a car for sheep, or sheep for camels, there is absolutely no riba in that.
