In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that interest (riba) is a grave sin and deeply ingrained in modern economic systems, making it challenging to avoid entirely. Islam forbids any involvement in riba, whether earning, paying, or facilitating it, as it corrupts both individuals and society. While necessity may offer some leniency, passively accepting or supporting this system is not permissible. He emphasizes that Muslims must actively seek lawful alternatives, minimize reliance on riba, and work towards reforming the system to align with Islamic principles.
