The System of Trade vs The System of Riba
Mufti Faraz Adam
What this source says
A talk contrasting the Qur'anic system of trade (bayʿ) with the system of riba — drawing on 'Allah has permitted trade and forbidden riba' (al-Baqarah 2:275) to explain why risk-sharing exchange of real value is permitted while a guaranteed return on lent money is not, and what that distinction means for how a Muslim earns and structures finance.
