الذهب بالورق ربا إلا هاء وهاء ، والبر بالبر ربا إلا هاء وهاء ، والشعير بالشعير ربا إلا هاء وهاء ، والثمر بالثمر ربا إلا هاء وهاء
“Selling gold for silver is usury except when it is hand to hand. Selling wheat for wheat is usury except when it is hand to hand. Selling barley for barley is usury except when it is hand to hand. Selling dates for dates is usury except when it is hand to hand.”
④ It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama ibn Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
الربا فى النسيئة “Usury is in credit.”

إنما الربا فى النسيئة
“Usury only occurs in credit.”
Returning Borrowed Items
