Is it permissible to entrust money with a friend for him to lend it to people?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Lending to people is a form of goodness, and a goodly loan () that carries no interest is an act of closeness to Allah and obedience for the lender, if he intends thereby the Face of Allah. As for a loan with interest, it is a grave sin and usury (riba), and "Allah has cursed the one who consumes usury and the one who feeds it."
