Fatwa #88112 September 2000Pakistan

If a company has gone into liquidation but the shareholders promise to repay all creditors over time, will the shareholders still have to repay the interest they owe to banks?

Answer

In principle, it is not permissible to pay or earn interest.

If the interest owed is defaced due to liquidation, it simply facilitates to comply with the Islamic provision of not paying interest.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
