Taking riba (usury or interest) from a slave's money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If it is from riba.
The Shaykh:
What do we take?
The questioner:
Taking the slave's money. The slave, yes.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to take riba, absolutely not, neither from a slave's money nor from anyone else's. If you know that it is riba, it is not permissible for you to take it. When the slave of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought food and Abu Bakr ate from it, then the slave informed him that it was from fortune-telling in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) vomited it up. It is not said that this is the slave's money or the slave's earnings; it is not permissible. The forbidden is not permissible; it is not permissible for you to eat the forbidden, or to eat the forbidden. Yes.
