Usury is one of the most important issues that has plagued various human societies since ancient times and has always caused significant economic and social harm to members of society. Accordingly, in the religion of Islam, many texts have ruled that usury is forbidden. However, some Muslim jurists and thinkers have included a chapter in their works entitled "The Trick of Usury" in which they have introduced methods through which transactions are made that appear to be similar to non-usury transactions. They have usury and accordingly, they are not subject to the ruling on the sanctity of usury. The most important question in this regard is the ruling on using the trick of usury. There has been disagreement among jurists about the ruling on methods of escaping the usury deal, and some, citing the conflict between the use of these methods and the philosophy of the sanctity of usury, believe that this action is illegitimate, and on the other hand, some claim based on the content of certain narrations. They have said that cheating usury is out of the sanctity of usury specifically or professionally. According to research, not only is the use of usury tricks free of problems, but also the sale of object can be used as a way to avoid committing usury transactions.
