The answer

The prohibition of interest-bearing loans is established by the Quran, the , and the consensus of the early Muslims (Salaf), and this is the practice adopted by the four madhhabs. Although some Hanafis permitted usury in Dar al-Harb (land of war) between a Muslim and a combatant if the Muslim was the beneficiary, contemporary scholars have not differentiated between Islamic and other lands in prohibiting usury. Furthermore, Islamic Fiqh councils have affirmed the absolute prohibition of usury.
