Ruling on one who sells a product to a person who is buying it with an interest-based loan
Question: 10676
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is better not to get involved with these kinds of transactions, in order to be on the safe side, but the basic principle is that he has nothing to do with the riba-based transaction and he is not a party to it, because the party which is consuming riba is the bank and the one who is paying it is the purchaser of the house.
