"...that became halal... that became haram!" - A Quote from Mufti Ebrahim Salejee Daamat Barakaatuhum

"One doctor came to see me, I think it was a Wednesday. So, he says he had to go to some meeting, --------* somewhere, whatever it was. So, there was a director of a bank, so-called Islamic. Now, he's entertaining them and all that.

So he says, "No, life insurance is permissible. And really, the interest in the bank is not so bad as people make it to be". Right..

And then, the topic went on to some Moulana Menk, who got married for the second time. There, he took that Moulana left, right and center. "How can he do such a thing?! What he thinks of himself?! What must be the condition of his wife, the first wife?!"

What is haram, what is explicit... The Qur'aan is saying

... أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا...

...that became halal. And this, what the Qur'aan shareef is saying is halal and permissible, now, that became haram!

See, this is what the Qur'aan shareef is saying

... يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ... "

The complete aayat Mufti saheb quotes is below:

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا فَمَنْ جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَانْتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا 

 سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا 

 خَالِدُونَ

 Those who consume usury shall not rise up except like him whom the Shaytaan has driven mad by his touch. This is because they say, “Trade is just like usury!” Allaah has permitted trade and forbidden usury. He unto whom the admonition had come from his Rabb and he refrained, then for him is that which has passed, and his affair rests with Allaah. Those who shall return are indeed the dwellers of the Fire wherein they shall abide forever. 

(Suratul Baqarah, aayah 275)
