Seeking money by an un-Islamic method
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the intention is not trade, but rather obtaining money, meaning he seeks to obtain money and resorts to such a method, is that permissible?
Answer:
He obtains money for the benefit of money, to eat from it, clothe himself from it, and spend on his dependents. Yes, that is a required matter, but only by the lawful way, not by the way of riba (usury or interest).
