Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Prohibiting Unlawfully Earned MoneyAllah, the Exalted and Most Honored, prohibits His believing servants from illegally acquiring each other's property using various dishonest methods such as Riba, gambling and other wicked methods that appear to be legal, but Allah knows that, in reality, those involved seek to deal in interest.
