To be honest, without attacking your persona, you kind off went overboard with this one xeet about ribaa, still the point’s valid, the fiqh of pre-modern times can’t offer an alternative to the predominant financial system we have in place now, I mean we even fail to analyze it correctly. Yet I fear that the greater part of the readership wasn’t able to discern this small but important detail and pranced on the legality of your statement.
Discussion
Yes, I agree. A xeet as controversial as that in MT should have been a thread rather than a simple hit like that. I misread the audience and by the time the comments came in, I realized I had to go back to the most elementary parts of fiqh and usul al fiqh to try to explain the reasoning behind that view, without appealing to any contemporary scholar. Insha'Allah the good outweighs the bad.
