Question:
Does riba apply to things other than food, gold, and silver, such as a man selling a car for two cars, or a book for two books, or a sheep for two sheep?
Answer:
No, that is riba. Those are not the conditions of riba. Riba is in foodstuffs and measured items, such as gold that is weighed, and in the customary, well-known weighed items. As for selling a car for two cars, or a car for camels, or a car for a house or land, or a car for sheep, or sheep for camels, there is no harm in this. Yes.
