The Ruling on the Accountant Recording Usurious Loan Contracts in the Books of Commercial Companies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: I am an accountant for a commercial company, and this company is compelled to borrow from the bank via a usurious loan. A copy of the loan contract is sent to me to record the company’s debt. In other words: Am I considered sinful for recording the contract without concluding it?
Answer: It is not permissible to cooperate with the aforementioned company in usurious transactions; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1598. It was narrated by Muslim. And because of the generality of the saying of the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah: 2].
Answer: It is not permissible to cooperate with the aforementioned company in usurious transactions; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
cursed the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnesses, and he said: They are all equal.
لعن آكل الربا وموكله وكاتبه وشاهديه وقال: هم سواءbut do not cooperate in sin and aggression
وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
