Is it permissible to take out an interest-bearing loan to save an Islamic company threatened with bankruptcy? And is this considered a matter of necessity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Borrowing with interest is forbidden in Islamic law and is considered a major sin. It is only permissible in cases of dire necessity where, if the individual does not resort to it, they would perish or be on the verge of perishing. The presented situation does not permit borrowing with interest, and it is necessary to seek another permissible means for the company's advancement.
