Is it permissible to deal with educational banks to transport the deceased Muslims from the lands of disbelief to the lands of Islam?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I said that there is a means by which the deceased Muslims can be transported to their lands, and that is dealing with a bank that deals in usury or interest.
The Shaykh : "The end does not justify the means" is a Jewish-Zionist rule, as they say today, but unfortunately, many Islamic preachers follow it. Dealing in usury or interest is known to be forbidden and not permissible. As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. And let no one say, "I do not consume usury or interest," meaning, "I am a very oppressed man, I do not consume usury or interest." But the poor man, due to his ignorance and misguidance, does not think that, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . So he is, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in another hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 13. So it is not permissible to say, "By Allah, I do not consume usury or interest." It is sufficient for you that you feed usury or interest to others, especially if that other person is a Muslim like you. If you love for your Muslim brother what you love for yourself, we must remember here his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 15:4. So the fact that you do not consume it does not save you from sin, but rather from a major sin among the major sins. The fact that you do not consume it is not enough. It is obligatory that you do not consume usury or interest, and then it is obligatory that you do not feed usury or interest to others, even if he is a disbeliever. And here, on this occasion, I must say that many of those who are afflicted with residing in the lands of disbelief may be followers of a school of jurisprudence, and this is the majority of them. In the Hanafi school of jurisprudence in particular, they consider usury or interest permissible in the lands of war. And these are the lands they go to—there is no need, may Allah reward you—
The questioner : May Allah improve what is in it, a mosquito, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : "A wound on a dead man causes no pain." The skin has dried out, there is no sensation...
Abu Layla : May Allah bless your health and well-being, O Shaykh. Let the mosquito benefit, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : "The end does not justify the means" is a Jewish-Zionist rule, as they say today, but unfortunately, many Islamic preachers follow it. Dealing in usury or interest is known to be forbidden and not permissible. As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A dirham of usury or interest that a man consumes is more severe with Allah than thirty-six whores.
درهم ربا يأكله الرجل أشد عند الله من ستٍ وثلاثين زانيةThe likeness of the Muslims in their mutual love and mercy is like one body; if one part complains, the rest of the body responds to it with sleeplessness and fever.
مثل المسلمين في توادهم وتراحمهم كمثل الجسد الواحد إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالسهر والحمىNone of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.
لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسهMay Allah curse the one who eats riba and the one who feeds it.
لعن الله آكل الربا وموكلهThe questioner : May Allah improve what is in it, a mosquito, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : "A wound on a dead man causes no pain." The skin has dried out, there is no sensation...
Abu Layla : May Allah bless your health and well-being, O Shaykh. Let the mosquito benefit, O Shaykh...
