Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on this association, which is that men gather and then agree to pay a specific amount among themselves every month? What is the ruling on this association? It is that men gather, then agree to pay a specific amount among themselves every month, and then they share in a share, so this association falls on one of the men every month.
The Shaykh:
This collective loan, or is it not a loan, and what is its method if the share falls on one of them?
The questioner:
I said: It falls on one of the men every month. Is there anything wrong with this association?
The Shaykh:
This is gambling. This is either gambling or a loan that brings benefit, so it is not permissible. Yes.
