I would like to seek your guidance regarding a situation I am facing in my business plans. I recently pitched my business idea to an investor, and he has shown interest in investing. However, I believe that he currently has a loan account with a conventional bank. He deals with the bank, pays interest, and his financial dealings involve riba (interest).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If I proceed to accept his investment, knowing that his finances are tied to such transactions, would this be permissible in Islam? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I wish to ensure that my business dealings and income remain halal and free from any association with haram practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It is not permissible to accept investment from someone whose financial dealings involve riba (interest). Even if the investor&#8217;s riba-based transactions are not directly part of your business, accepting such an investment could indirectly link your business to haram (forbidden) practices. Islam requires that all sources of income and investments to be halal. If you are aware that it is coming form a loan that is interest based, it should be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">May Allah make your business successful and halal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Alimah Khadija Tarwala.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0623\u0645\u0627 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0628\u0648\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0644\u0627 \u064a\u0645\u0643\u0646\u0647 \u062a\u0636\u0645\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0642\u0635\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0631\u062f\u0627\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0635\u0644\u061b \u0644\u0623\u0646\u0647 \u064a\u0624\u062f\u064a \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0628\u0627.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0646\u0627\u064a\u0629 \u0634\u0631\u062d \u0627\u0644\u0647\u062f\u0627\u064a\u0629 [\u0628\u062f\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u064a\u0646\u064a] \u062c11: \u0635: , Dar Al-Kutub Al-Ilmiyyah &#8211; Beirut, Lebanon197<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 07917 &nbsp; &nbsp; Answered by Alimah Khadija Tarwala &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; I hope you are doing well.
