Resorting to the court after a riba loan

Question:
Some people take riba (usury or interest) loans from some banks, and a dispute arises between them and the bank, so they request to be referred to the Shari'ah court to take them out of these interest payments, but they are surprised to find that they are referred to the Commercial Chamber or the Board of Grievances. What is the ruling in that? And is it achieved?

Answer:
First, he knows that it is riba, and this is proof that he did not seek the court except to get rid of it, to deceive people. And the fact that he resorted to this from the beginning, while knowing that it is riba, makes him a criminal. He is a criminal and must be punished for this action. As for deceiving people and then resorting to the Shari'ah ruling not because he believes that this is obligatory, but to get rid of the amount, this is a deceiver and must be disciplined by the authority for this. Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You.
