Is the wife justified in refusing to ride in a car that her husband bought with usurious financing from the bank, claiming he was compelled to do so, and does she share in the sin if she benefits from it?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If a husband buys a car with an interest-based loan, the sin is on him, and it is not forbidden for the wife to benefit from it. However, she must advise him and condemn his action. He is not obligated to sell the car, but he must repent by regretting his action, seeking forgiveness, and resolving not to return to it, because what was mentioned does not constitute a necessity that permits usury.
