Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I hope you will explain to me, Honorable Shaykh, with examples, that every loan that brings a benefit is riba (usury or interest).
Answer:
It is clear that lending to someone in order for him to benefit you with something in return for your loan to him—such as riding in a car, living in a house, or giving you an increase in the amount—is all forbidden, and this is riba. The increase in a loan, whether it is of the same kind as the loan or of a different kind, is all riba by the consensus of the scholars. Yes.
