Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For a company that lends money, would it be permissible to charge a fee for its services instead of regular interest?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You cannot charge a fee for a loan because a condition for lending money is that it does not benefit the lender and he doesn\u2019t earn anything from it (Badai Al Sanai, Vol 10, Pg 656). However, there is a principle that states that the costs and losses that occur from something will be upon the one who has derived benefit from it (Qawaaid Fiqhiyyah, Pg 96). Therefore, it would be permissible to charge a fee for processing the loan (to cover the administrative costs, etc). This is different from charging money in return for the debt itself.<\/span><\/p>\n
