Taking a loan is not the same as making money from lending. That distinction sits at the centre of how Shariah screening treats company debt.

In this clip: the difference between a business whose core activity is lending at interest, and a business that carries some debt while its actual trade is buying and selling real goods. One profits directly from riba. In the other, the interest element is secondary to what the company actually does.

The reasoning in one line: A screening methodology looks at what a company does before it looks at what it owes.
❗ Scope of this clip: This explains one part of a broader methodology and is not a ruling on any specific company. For guidance on your own situation, speak to a qualified scholar.
