What is riba?

Interest on money

“Every loan in which it is stipulated that something extra must be paid back is haraam, with no difference of scholarly opinion.

Ibn al-Mundhir said: [the scholars] are unanimously agreed that if the muslim lender stipulates that the muslim borrower must pay extra or give him a gift, and he lends him money on that basis, then accepting the extra payment is riba.
