Question

If I borrow Rs 10 lac from someone and return the same amount after 10 years, the value of the money will not be same and interest is haraam so what should we do to keep the value of the money?

Answer

You may borrow gold and pay back with gold in return.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
