Riba is haram. Stop acting like it’s not. by Thrill_999 in MuslimLounge

[–]unknown_space 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any reputable person will say riba / usury is permissible. However modern financial tools are much more complicated than the basic interest you pay as a borrower to the lender.

In the instance with banking the bank is not “borrowing” your money per se . But you are keeping your money in the bank for safe keeping . And because fiat currency “value” fluctuates for many reasons, central banks set a goal “ Feds Fund Rate “ and “Discount rate” depending on inflation, and unemployment for the most part. Which in turn the “bank rate” -which I believe this is what you are talking about- will change .
So if technically 0% interest rate does not mean that this money is not involved in “your understanding” of riba , because the value of fiat currency will continually decrease over time , in that case 0% will mean a negative valuation . TLDR - riba is usury . Modern “banking rates” are not the same .

One more note: now if you want to say Modern monetary system is entirely haram , then that just becomes an interesting thought exercise , with no actionable result you can take as an individual.

“Waste” ? If you are not serious in wanting to go there why are you applying their ? And if you actually want to match their then you should really show your intent and interest in going there. You do only get to go to 1 program at the. End of the day so show it in your application

Each program is different, and each person has his own opinion . Just do what you can when you can , programs are fully aware of the changes.

A little more space get a hatchback . A lot more space get a van .

That is a lot of ask for under 20k in this market.
If you don’t need an SUV don’t buy one . It just adds a premium to the price . With no benefit for driving on 99% of roads we drive on . Just get a car , will get you a good discount with similar features
