The Ruling on Responding to the Invitation of One Who Deals in Riba
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a man deals in riba (usury or interest) and has invited a person to a wedding feast, is it permissible for this person to attend the feast?
Answer:
If you know that the food is from riba, it is not permissible. But if you do not know, and he has money other than riba, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat from the food of the Jews, and they dealt in riba, but not all of their food was from riba.
