Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I received a speed violation from the traffic department, and when I went to the department to check, I found that it had been doubled, and they told me that it increases every month. Does this fall under the ruling of riba (usury or interest)?
Answer:
This is a matter under consideration; it is currently being studied, and there is still room for deliberation. Nothing has been finalized yet. Yes.
