Testimony on a Riba Contract
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 10426 )
Q1: My uncle asked me to testify with him at one of the banks regarding a loan, and this loan contains interest (riba). I should mention that my father and my uncle are partners in this money. However, I prevented myself from testifying, which caused problems, so I gave the testimony while not being satisfied with myself or the testimony. I regretted and grieved over what came from me, and I am in confusion and turmoil. I ask for guidance.
A1: Testifying on a riba contract is forbidden, and it is obligatory for you to repent and seek forgiveness for the testimony you gave on the riba loan.
