13. It is not permissible for one to get involved in interest bearing transactions. Giving and taking interest are both haraam in Islam.

وَأَحَلَّ اللهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبٰوا

And Allah has permitted trade and prohibited riba – interest. [1]

الَّذِيْنَ يَأْكُلُوْنَ الرِّبٰوا لَا يَقُومُوْنَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُوْمُ الَّذِيْ يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطٰنُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ

Those who consume interest will rise (on the Day of Qiyaamah) like the one who has been afflicted by the evil touch of Shaitaan. [2]

فَإِنْ لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوْا فَأْذَنُوْا بِحَرْبٍ مِّنَ اللهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ

“If you do not do so (desist from dealing in interest) then be prepared to wage war against Allah and His Rasul (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” [3]

Hazrat Abdullah bin Hanzalah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Consuming one dirham of riba knowingly is worse than committing zina thirty-six times.” [4]

Hazrat Jaabir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) cursed the one who consumes interest, pays interest, the scribe of the interest-bearing deal and the witness to such a deal.” [5]

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “No matter how much the interest may be, it will result in decrease (of wealth).” [6]
