Dr. Israr Ahmad explains that indirect interest (andariki sood) permeates modern life, extending beyond direct loans to encompass nearly all commodities due to interest-based funding at various stages of production. He argues that even consuming basic necessities like wheat involves participating in a system fueled by interest. The only atonement for this unavoidable involvement is a dedicated effort to transform the existing system into one that eradicates interest completely.
