There is no Hadith that permits Riba

Question:

Is there any Ayah in the Qur’an or any authentic Ahadith that says it is permissible to obtain Riba or that certain things in which Riba is involved is permissible.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

 

There is no Hadith that permits Riba, not even a weak Hadith.  No doubt that the verses and the authentic Hadith warn against Riba and emphasize its prohibition.

Indeed, Riba is one of the most obnoxious sins and it is a major sin whose doer is waging a war against Allah and against His Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam).

Allah knows best.
