The Profit of Shareholders in the Bank's Capital

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: Are the shareholders in the capital of any bank that deals in such transactions considered to be earning riba?
A2: Yes, every shareholder in the capital of a bank that deals with people in riba is considered to be earning riba from that, and consuming the wealth of people unjustly; for Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:
But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interestوَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:275]
, and because it is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
That he cursed the one who eats riba, the one who gives it, the scribe, and the two witnessesأنه لعن آكل الربا، وموكله، وكاتبه، وشاهديه
. Narrated by Muslim.
