Do Muslims not eat gluten?

Written by Admin | Last Updated: July 2026

Yes, Islam forbids both receiving and paying interest (riba). This is considered a major sin in Islamic law, as interest is viewed as exploitative and contrary to the principles of social justice and equitable risk-sharing. Many Muslims actively avoid interest-based transactions, including standard savings accounts, conventional mortgages, and credit card interest. If a Muslim inadvertently accumulates interest in a bank account, it is often donated to charity without the expectation of religious reward, simply to dispose of the funds in a manner that adheres to Shariah principles. The Islamic financial system encourages non-interest-based models like sadaqah (charity) and waqf (endowments) to support financial security.
