Is it permissible to take a loan from disbelievers?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Islam permits dealing with disbelievers in buying and selling. The proof for this is that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away while his shield was mortgaged with a Jewish man. As long as the transaction is permissible, there is no harm in taking a loan from a disbeliever, whether through a sale or a direct loan.
