Riba and inflation : question on Riba and inflation

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I understand that Riba (appreciation or augmentation to the principle) is Haram in Islam. This means if we earn interest on the money in bank it is Haram. My question is : how do we explain the depreciation in the value of money due to inflation ? What is the Islamic way to counter this depreciation in monetary value ?
