The ruling on eating the food of one who deals in riba (usury or interest)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Syria, whose name is Alif Alif, says: If a person deals in riba (usury or interest), is it permissible for us to mix with him and eat from his food?
Answer:
Regarding his offering food to us, you must advise him and remind him of Allah, bringing the verses and hadiths that prohibit riba (usury or interest) and the words of the scholars, so that perhaps he may repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for eating the food, it is forbidden. However, if he has a mixture of halal and haram, there is no harm in eating from his food, because it is not established that it is from the riba. Yes. May Allah reward you.
