Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to acknowledge riba (usury or interest) among disbelievers?
Answer:
Some of them with others in the Abode of Islam. If they consider it lawful, we have no concern with them and do not interfere in their affairs. However, if they consider it forbidden, we prevent them from doing it; we prevent them from what they consider forbidden in their religion. As for what they consider lawful in their religion, we do not interfere with them. They still eat pork, considering it permissible in their religion, so we have no concern with them. But if they display it in the lands of Islam, and they do it secretly, we do not interfere in their affairs. Yes.
