What is the ruling on giving money to someone so that they can extract a grant land, on condition that the money be returned after the issuance of the land deed, and if that is impermissible, then what must be done?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the intention is to give money to someone else as a loan, so that they may fulfill their need with it and return it without any increase, then this is a goodly loan (al-Qard al-Hasan), which is encouraged by Islamic law. It is an act of charity, for it involves relieving a Muslim's distress and assisting a brother. Allah aids His servant as long as the servant aids his brother. However, if the intention is otherwise, it must be clarified in order to rule upon it.
