The answer

The prohibition of usury (riba) is widespread among Muslims, and no permitting it can diminish this. God's judgment cannot be altered. No one is allowed to engage in usury based on such fatwas, for sin is what wavers in the heart and causes uneasiness in the breast, even if people give you a fatwa.
