Is it permissible to borrow from the bank with interest to purchase an electrical appliance when money is not available?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Borrowing with interest is forbidden usury, and it is not permissible except in cases of necessity or a need that is equivalent to it. What has been mentioned does not reach the level of necessity that permits borrowing with usury. Your duty is to repent to Allah.
