Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person is sick and cannot be treated except through a riba (usury or interest) loan, is it permissible for him to take it out of dire necessity?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to take riba or give riba. This is not permissible for him. May Allah cure him, if Allah wills. He should improve his reliance upon Allah, and may Allah cure him, if Allah wills.
