The questioner:
You were told that the riba banks would disappear soon, if Allah wills, but it has not been seen that the situation has changed.
The Shaykh:
If Allah wills.
The questioner:
The banks are increasing.
The Shaykh:
Or may Allah guide them and they leave riba. If they leave riba, there is no harm. If they leave riba and Allah guides them to leave riba, there is no harm. If they deal in transactions that are in accordance with the Shari'ah and contain no riba, there is no harm.
