س: ما الحكم الشرعي في الحالات التالية:
الحالة الأولى: عند الزبير توجد الآلة الكهربائية يحتاج إليها، و لكن آلته الكهربائية قد فسدت، و الزبير يريد تصحيحها؛ الزيد عنده مصنع خاص لتصحيح الآلات الكهربائية التي قد فسدت، و الزيد يقول للزبير أن عليه أن يدفع مئة دولار إذا كان يريد تصحيح هذه الآلة؛ و لكن الزبير ليس عنده إمكان لدفع مئة دولار مباشرة، لأنه لا يملك مئة دولار؛ و فيصل يقول للزبير: "أنا أعطيك مئة دولار، و لكن عليك أن يرجع لي مئة و عشرون دولار - مئة دولار إرجاعا للدين، و عشرون دولار أجرة و ربحا لي بسبب المساعدة لك في إزالة مشكلتك." (و إرجاع النقود أثناء عشر أشهر بأقسام متساوية بإثنى عشر دولار كل شهر) و الزبير رضي على هذه الشروط. هل في شروط فيصل يوجد الربا؟
الحالة الثانية: نفس الحالة، و لكن فيصل قد دفع مئة دولار مباشرة للزيد، و بعد ذلك ألزم على الزبير أن يرجع له مئة و عشرون دولار بأقسام متساوية أثناء عشر أشهر بإثنى عشر دولار كل شهر - مئة دولار إرجاعا للدين و عشرون دولار أجرة و ربحا بسبب مساعدته للزبير في إزالة مشكلته. (يعني في الحالة الأولى فيصل قد أعطى النقود للزبير نفسه، و لكن في الحالة الثانية أعطى النقود للزيد لا للزبير) و الزبير رضي على هذه الشروط. هل في شروط فيصل يوجد الربا؟
