The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from France says: I bought a taxi license to work with it through a riba loan. Is my earnings lawful?
The Shaykh:
Through what?
The questioner:
Through a riba loan.
The Shaykh:
No, this car is not lawful because its price is forbidden, so it is not lawful. If you sell the car and give its price in charity, then work until you obtain the price of a car, work with the fare until you obtain the price of a car and buy it, that is permissible for you, yes.
