Reader’s Answer
Question
How does Muhammad Shahrur employ Āl ʿImrān 130 in his discussion of usury?
Shahrur employs the verse as a text concerning the “prohibition of usury multiplied in monetary sums,” and places this prohibition within what he calls “limits.”
The citation states that Shahrur links Āl ʿImrān 130 to the prohibition of usury “multiplied in monetary sums.” Shahrur places this prohibition under the heading of “limits,” as also appears in the same citation.
