The Ruling on Borrowing for Trade Without Need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on borrowing from people in order to trade and increase his wealth, when he has no need for additional money?
Answer:
Borrowing money and taking people's wealth without need is not appropriate. If he has no need, he should not borrow, because debt is a burden. Perhaps people's wealth will be lost and he will bear it on his person, so he should not borrow except in cases of need with the intention of repayment. Whoever takes people's wealth intending to repay it, Allah will repay it for him in this world and the Hereafter. And whoever takes people's wealth intending to destroy it, Allah will destroy him in this world and the Hereafter. Yes.
