اَلَّذِیْنَ یَاْكُلُوْنَ الرِّبٰوا لَا یَقُوْمُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا یَقُوْمُ الَّذِیْ یَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ مِنَ الْمَسِّؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَا الْبَیْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبٰواۘ-وَ اَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ الْبَیْعَ وَ حَرَّمَ الرِّبٰواؕ-فَمَنْ جَآءَهٗ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ فَانْتَهٰى فَلَهٗ مَا سَلَفَؕ-وَ اَمْرُهٗۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِؕ-وَ مَنْ عَادَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(275)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Those who consume usury will not stand on the Day of Judgement except like the one who has been driven to madness after being touched by a devil. This ˹requital˺ is ˹for them˺ because they said, “Trade is only like usury”, although Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury. So the one to whom an admonition came from his Lord then he desisted, so that which occurred previously is lawful for him; and his matter belongs to Allah. And those who will replicate ˹this offence˺ are people of the Fire; they will reside therein for many years.[1]

Commentary

[1]

He who consumes interest (ribā) while considering it to be lawful is a disbeliever as this is definitively forbidden. One who classifies any definitively forbidden action as lawful is a disbeliever and shall remain in Hell forever; and one who consumes interest while considering it to be forbidden is an extreme sinner and will remain in Hell for a very long time.
