Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: How do we reconcile the fact that it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he prohibited taking a loan and giving a gift, with the fact that he (peace and blessings be upon him), when he repaid a loan, gave the lender more?
Answer:
This is part of good judgment. This is part of good judgment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to judge well. Yes.
