What is the ruling on a loan application typist or transcriber who was ignorant of its prohibition then refrained from it? Does anything result from their actions after they refrained?
It is not permissible to assist with usurious contracts by printing their documents, writing their contracts, or similar actions, due to Allah Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: "They are all alike." If someone did that out of ignorance, then repented and abandoned it, there is no blame upon him, because he is excused by his ignorance, due to the Prophet's saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, Allah has overlooked for my Ummah errors, forgetfulness, and what they are compelled to do."
