Salam and greetings. At the crux of the discourse about Islamic finance and banking is the issue of Riba and interest.. There are some ongoing threads focused on this. One of the critical areas related to this discourse is Hadith, which serves as the basis for the gradually broadened scope of Riba. There are a lot of claims about the Riba-Interest Equation [i.e., equating Riba and interest in a blanket manner] that is particularly based on hadith. However, very few works are available to educate us as Muslims about the hadiths that are commonly used to make claims about the Riba-Interest Equation. The readers can download a newly published paper - "Riba, Interest and Six Hadiths: Do We Have a Definition or a Conundrum?" - from the SSRN archive: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1528770 . This paper might interest those who want to go beyond the technical aspects of Islamic banking and finance and also have a solid foundation in relevant evidences from the primary sources of Islam. Of course, these are subjects that are complex and making any definitive statement or taking any definitive position is unwarranted. That's why this paper lays out the pertinent evidence with critical examination so that the readers as well as students of this field are helped to do their own due diligence. Any feedback is most welcome, especially because this is an ongoing research and thus I approach such subject and present the work with an open mind. Fi amanillah.

Thank you; LinkedIn Groups * Group: Global Islamic Finance Resources * Subject: New comment (3) on "[Paper] Riba, Interest and Six Hadiths: Do We Have a Definition or a Conundrum?" Salam and greetings. Thanks to Br. Nidal Alsayyed for sharing this work of Tarek Al Diwany. It is a well circulated work on the issue of interest. However, two things need to be noted. First, my paper - "Riba, Interest and Six Hadith ..." is a critical analysis of hadiths that are commonly cited in blanketly equate interest with Riba. It has the limited purpose of merely explaining the problem with the hadiths that are generally invoked in support of the traditional view. Br. Tarek's work deals with interest as a problem, without putting it in the context of the problems identified in the paper "Riba, Interest and Six hadith..." It simply assumes the Riba-Interest Equation, without even acknowledging the problem with textual evidence (dalil) in this regard. Secondly, there are several aspects in the work of Br. Tarek that is unsubstantiated. For example, he writes: "In the absence of interest .... [T] practice of leverage would disappear and with it the speculative mentality of our time." The above statement assumes that speculation is primarily due to interest. That is simply inaccurate. Anyone can look at the stock market which is basically not based on interest, but rather on sharing of profit and loss. Is speculation absent in the bond market more than the stock market? The answer clearly is 'no'. Therefore, how can it be expected that speculative mentality would be gone simply be causing interest to disappear? Indeed, the counter argument might be stronger that those who participate in the bond market are less speculative. The speculators in ALL financial markets whether interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing markets - be it bond, stock, commodity, currency, etc. - they are speculators in contrast with long-term investors.. Removing interest would not cause these speculators to heal or give up. This is just one logical as well as empirical problem with "The Problem of Interest". Fi amanillah.
