The ruling on placing warning labels against riba (usury or interest) on the doors of banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Since the calamity of riba (usury or interest) in its various forms has spread among the people, do you see any objection to placing labels stating that Allah has made trade lawful and riba (usury or interest) forbidden in places where people gather, especially on the doors and walls of banks, which are the main centers for engaging in this forbidden act, given that they have been advised for many years yet have not been deterred? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Provided that the wrong is not being denied, provided that the wrong is not being denied.
The questioner:
We make labels.
The Shaykh:
There is no obstacle; there is no harm in this. Allah said in the great Qur'an something greater than this for those He has guided.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Allah has made trade lawful and warned against it, so the imam is a group of students who read in every place.
