Riba (interest) and Doctrine of Necessity
Some appellants (to the permissibility of Riba’ in modern times) have tried to attract the doctrine of necessity to the case of ribaand argue that the Holy Qur’an has allowed even to eat pork in the case of extreme hunger to save one’s life. The argument of some appellant was that the interest-based system has now become a universal necessity and no country can live without it.
