Was chatting with a brother who claimed that a 0.01% increase on a loan does not constitute riba and it’s perfectly allowed in Islamic jurisprudence.
The clear cut classical fiqh arguments against this form of riba didn’t succeed in changing his mind. Maybe if I try using jewish terminology next time, I might be able to get through to him.
Mayn bruder, 0.01% riba is a yetzer hara trap.
