There is a whole industry of sharia-compliant finance to work around the ban on loans. The solution for the christian dislike for money-lending back on those days was for non-christians to do it. A world where people don’t need loans might be nice, but not all the people can use your parents’ money (and depending on what you want to do and how rich is your family, even you might need additional financing).
That's more about compliance in name only than actually following the faith. Like arguments if turning on the lights counts as setting a fire.
Of course. The point is that, paraphrasing Crichton’s Jurassic Park, debt finds a way.
