What is the ruling on working for an institution that grants loans with an increase ranging between 15% and 20%, and is the salary earned from this work permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the work of the institution is restricted to lending money with an increase to be repaid in installments, then this work is forbidden and impermissible. It is considered explicit usury (riba), which is among the gravest sins. Consequently, the salary the wife receives from this work is forbidden.
