Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My question, may you live long, is about Saher, may Allah preserve you. The riba (usury or interest) in Saher, I mean, is it lawful or forbidden?
The presenter:
Yes, the question, Ya 'A'id?
The questioner:
The Saher violation, which is riba. Is it lawful or is it forbidden?
The Shaykh:
Saher violations.
The presenter:
Yes, speeding and whatever else, yes, yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
This is a system for the benefit of people and to preserve lives. If the one in authority sees that he should impose a penalty on those who drive badly on the roads, bother people, or expose them to danger, and he establishes a system to prevent that, he has the right to do so, and obedience to him is obligatory. In fact, even if he did not establish anything, the Muslim should be gentle in his driving, in his driving of the car, to preserve his own life and the life of others. Yes.
The presenter:
But he says the value is doubled, Shaykh Salih.
The Shaykh:
No, the value is not doubled, the value is not doubled, the value is the value, and it is not doubled except for delay, because that makes it riba, makes it of the kind of riba like the riba of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, when the debt was delayed, they increased the amount for the debtor in difficulty, yes.
