20th Commemoration of the Death of Fazlurrahman
By Malja Abror
To Rahman, bank’s interest is not riba (usury) since the philosophy of bank’s establishment is as the agent of change in the national development system of a modern state. Therefore, bank’s interest is not equal to riba which is based on individual-consumptive motive. Rahman also allowed massive mechanical slaughter of animals (chicken), with a single blessing only. He also believed that zakat could be gradually perceived as tax with certain mechanism.
