Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: The imam of our mosque recites the verses on riba (usury or interest) found in Surat al-Baqarah and Surat al-Imran during the Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr prayers. He has continued doing this for five days in the Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr prayers. When I asked him about it, he said it was to remind people of the prohibition of riba (usury or interest). Is his action prescribed?
Answer:
No, we do not say it is prescribed, because he is reciting the Qur'an, and it is also on an occasion, which is these days of subscription in the riba (usury or interest) bank, so he intends this.
