Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A person took a loan from another, the amount being three thousand riyals,
The Shaykh:
This.
The questioner:
He took a loan from another, the amount being three thousand riyals. He says: Then he repaid it with an increase of four thousand riyals as riba, and he has repented to Allah for this action.
The Shaykh:
If the lender stipulated that he would repay it with an increase, that is riba. But if he repaid it out of good will in making up the debt, and it was not stipulated upon him, then there is no harm. Yes.
