What is riba?
Question
Can you please explain to me in simple words what is Riba?
Answer
In the case of a loan it will easily be understood as an additional amount that has been preconditioned over and above the original lent amount.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
