Riba In Mubadalah: Riba Revisited, #1
()
About this ebook
Riba is a most mysterious subject. Even to our great predecessors it proved to be a very enigmatic prospect. Where does Riba manifest itself? How? Where does one draw the line? How does one know whether a transaction is Riba, or just looks like it?
Sometimes it is clear, and other times it is like being in a hall of mirrors. One wonders whether it is a true reflection, or just an illusion.
It is an action that practically every human has done in his lifetime. Changing money. Not the changing into another currency, but getting change for larger bills.
What rules govern this type of transaction? What are the pitfalls of which to be careful? What are the views and disputes of scholars?

A Summary Of Scholarly Views On Riba In Changing Money Into Smaller Denominations
Volume I
Riba Revisited Series
2021
Introduction
I have been involved in the Islamic Finance industry since the 1980s. I have seen its slow beginnings and its subsequest rapid rise. I can speak with confidence, that the subject of Riba is the most confusing for most observers, students, and even professionals in the industry.
This book is a lengthened version of a series of articles I wrote entitled Riba in Mubadalah
, and is part of a series of articles on Riba entitled Riba Revisited
.
I started the series in September 2019, and it already includes forty articles on the subject of Riba.
My hope was and is, to help people navigate such a difficult subject; a subject very misunderstood and has the most important bearing on the subject of the structuring of Islamic Finance products.
Whilst there are many books on Riba in Arabic, I noticed that in English there were very few. In addition, the ones available rarely treated subjects such as this one. They usually stay close to the main headings without adventuring into unusual areas of investigation.
It is also a subject that takes place in our everyday lives, often without us noticing the difference between the forbidden and permissible.
Riba is a most mysterious subject. Even to our great predecessors it proved to be a very enigmatic prospect. Where does Riba manifest itself? How? Where does one draw the line? How does one know whether a transaction is Riba, or just looks like it?
Sometimes it is clear, and other times it is like being in a hall of mirrors. One wonders whether it is a true reflection, or just an illusion.
It is an action that practically every human has done in his lifetime. Changing money. Not the changing into another currency, but getting change for larger bills.
What rules govern this type of transaction? What are the pitfalls of which to be careful? What are the views and disputes of scholars?
In this brief book, I investigate this issue and hopefully shed light on some of the issues and point out the areas of danger and dispute.
This book requires a certain amount of knowledge of the subject of Riba and Fiqh Al-Mu’amalat
. Whilst the book is not difficult by any measure, it still does require a certain amount of understanding of issues, without which, the concepts may seem vague.
The book however, has been written in very easy language. It should feel as if I were speaking to you, the reader, face to face. I have done my best to remove any hint of academic pretensions in order to facilitate the ease of reading, and the learning experience.
Many books sometimes forget that the reader learns best by seeing an example from daily life, against which he can compare a particular Shari’ah issue. This is too often missing in many books on Islamic Finance.
Riba is a subject that no book on Islamic Finance should go without. Riba is such an important subject, and is often a very divisive one as well. Many think they understand it well, only to find they are confounded when asked questions.
Riba is the most fascinating subject in Islamic Finance. The prohibition of Riba is essentially the main driver in creating products compliant with Shari’ah.
Other prohibitions, whilst important, can be found often in existing conventional regulations. Thus, it is Riba, which is the primary cause of concern in the design of Islamic Financial Products.
This is a very important topic due to the similarities between Riba and some aspects of certain transactions. Effectively, the less you know, the more likely you are to confuse an aspect with Riba.
Riba can be so difficult to fully comprehend that even great scholars in the past admitted their difficulties with it, and even made some rash judgments. Great men have tried to unveil its mystery, and many have failed.
Al-Ghazzali (Died Hijri 505): The issue of Riba... is one of the most mysterious issues.
Ibn Kathir (Died Hijri 774): Riba is one of the most confusing issues for scholars.
Al-Shatibi (Died Hijri 790): Riba is a subject with a concealed face for the diligent, and is one of the most hidden issues whose meaning is unknown till today.
Even greater men, and earlier
