Debts in the economy, reserve requirements and credit creation : is debt industry permissible ?
Fatawa Question
Assalamu Alaykum Prof Monzer Kahf, There are views amongst us saying that the debt industry itself-regardless Islamic or conventional-is to be stopped. The Muslim community should stop taking loans altogether even for buying houses or cars. Similarly businessmen must stop taking loans from banks, any banks. It is better and more Baraka not to do business or own a house if you can’t afford them. What do you say of these views ? Azlan Awang Shah Alam, Malaysia
