Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the meaning of what was reported:
Every loan, which leads to a benefit, is usury.كُلُّ قَرْضٍ جَرَّ مَنْفَعَةً فَهُوَ رِبًا
Bulugh al-Maram 7:99
?

Answer:
Yes. The good loan is that which is sought for the sake of reward and recompense. It is not permissible to take anything in return for a benefit, such as having him lend you his car to drive, or having him take you from one place to another because of the loan. This is not permissible. Yes.
