What is the ruling on a loan that brings benefit?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The well-known principle among scholars is that any loan that draws a benefit is forbidden. More than one scholar has reported a consensus on this matter.
A loan with interest is forbidden, and it is usury (riba), based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Every loan that draws a benefit is usury."
Accordingly, any loan or advance that draws a stipulated benefit is usury and is impermissible.
