On scholarly consensus on the prohibition of riba
Mufti Muḥammad Taqī ʿUsmānī
What this source says
The prohibition of riba is one of the few areas of fiqh on which all four Sunni schools, the Shīʿah schools, and the consensus of every recognized scholar across fourteen centuries are in complete agreement. Disagreement begins only when discussing the application to modern instruments — never on the underlying principle.
