Is a bank loan permissible in India for a business purpose?

Is bank loan permisible in India for business purpose? if yes what are the criteria and if no why?

Answer:

(Fatwa: 683/679=N)

It is not allowed; because this involves giving interest, and both giving and taking interest is haram:

قال تعالی: و احل اللہ البیع و حرم الربوا (الآیۃ)

و لعن رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: اٰکل الربوا و مؤکلہ و کاتبہ و شاھدیہ و قال ھم سواء (مسلم و ترمذی)

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
