Borrowing rice and oil for a specified period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, sometimes people borrow rice from one another for a specified period, or oil for a specified period. Then, at the beginning of the month, or when Allah provides for them, they return it as rice. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is not a loan for use; this is a loan, meaning it is called a loan. The chapter on loans has already passed. It is permissible to lend dirhams, food, dates, and money. It is permissible. This falls under the category of loans, not the category of loans for use.
