Q
What is the Islamic stance on usury and its implications for those who engage in it?
A
I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered that his instruments (of
cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing so. He replied, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) prohibited
taking money for blood, the price of a dog, and the earnings of a slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed
her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures.”
