Question:
A questioner asks: What is meant by the dust of riba? Is a salary from these banks considered part of that dust? And what is our role regarding this dust?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that riba will become widespread in the last of time, and whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust. It is apparent, and Allah knows best, that one will not be able to escape it in the last of time due to its prevalence and the extensive dealings with it. A person deals with people; a person needs to deal with people, and he may deal with usurers and banks. And from that, some dust may fall upon him even if he does not consume it. Yes.
