Is it riba to start a personal blog to showcase our writing talent for career? Can i write about people who have inspired me in my life ?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuhu
It is permissible to blog and write articles which do not promote anything against the Shariah. It is permissible to write about people who have inspired you.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
