What is the ruling on borrowing from the money of a man who accumulated it while he was a disbeliever, and then embraced Islam?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no legal impediment to borrowing from a non-Muslim, though a Muslim is preferable, even if he is a recent convert to Islam. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, interacted with disbelievers, bought from them, and borrowed from them. As stated in al-Bukhari, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away while his shield was mortgaged with a Jew.
