Question:
The Shaykh’s question: What is the ruling on a contract with a moneylender?
Answer:
That is, a poor person borrows from a moneylender. This is not permissible; it is forbidden, and it is not permissible to use it. However, if the moneylender has both lawful and unlawful wealth, it is permissible for you to borrow from him, buy from him, and accept gifts from him. But if what he has is unlawful and you know that it is unlawful, then it is not permissible for you to take it, whether as a gift, a loan, a purchase, or otherwise, because he does not own it, for the unlawful is not owned. Yes.
