The ruling on exchanging a loan for its equivalent in a measured commodity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to take a sack of wheat from a person and then return it to him after a period of time with another sack of wheat?
The Shaykh:
What is the sack?
The questioner:
With another sack of wheat.
The Shaykh:
If this is in the category of a loan, there is nothing wrong with it. If you borrow wheat from him and then return wheat to him later, this is in the category of a loan, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, if it is in the category of a sale, this is not permissible, because this is riba (usury or interest).
