Question

I would like to open a business inshaAllah but does not want to be involved in interest. Please advise how should I go about this.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your question is unclear. What do you mean by “this”? Are you trying to ask how you can access interest free finance to establish a business?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best,
