Re: Is paying of interest not allowed in Islam ?
salamalaykum,
So your point is, if muslims are being threatened with death or being forced to pay riba at gunpoint to save their life,hence in this case riba should be permitted?if yes..i agree with you.
HOWEVER, if they need bigger and more cars,houses, and property and can only acquire them by payment of interest,,,this is where riba is prohibitted to be paid,as survival of a human being does not depend on the acquisition and hoarding of such material objects.
and Allah knows best.
