What is the ruling on working to coordinate an international commercial operation funded by an interest-based loan, which benefits the poor Muslims?
Dealing with usury is among the major sins, and its perpetrator is threatened with war from Allah and His Messenger, as stated in the Qur'an and Sunnah, which curse the devourer of usury, its enabler, its scribe, and its two witnesses. It is not permissible for a Muslim to borrow with usury, even if it is for a good deed such as building a mosque or aiding the poor, because Allah is good and accepts only what is good, and usury is strictly forbidden. It is not permissible to deposit money in usurious banks with the intention of taking usurious interest for any purpose, nor is it permissible to take usury with the intention of giving it in charity, because it is an unlawful and impure gain.
