Is photographing or printing usurious agreements or contracts, at the request of an employer in a medical institution, considered writing usury?
Usury is forbidden, and 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. Scholars differed regarding the inclusion of the curse on "the scribe of usury" to encompass those who document it, copy it, or record it in ledgers after it has occurred. Some believe that the curse includes everyone who plays a role in writing the contract, documenting it, or accounting for it, while others believe that the curse is specific to the drafting of the original usurious contract. Based on this, photographing the contract after its conclusion, or printing a blank usurious contract to be filled, or printing a written contract for signing, is considered a forbidden assistance to usury. However, printing it to review the institution's debts is not blameworthy.
