Exchange goods with like items

This hadith explains that it is forbidden to practice usury or riba in Islam. Usury is when someone lends money and charges an extra amount for repayment. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that if someone wants to exchange goods with another person, they should do so by exchanging like items. For example, if one person has gold and another has silver, they should exchange gold for gold and silver for silver. If either party adds something extra or asks for something extra in return then this would be considered usury which is forbidden in Islam. Both parties involved are equally guilty of committing this sin as it goes against Islamic teachings.
