Summary
Lending money to an acquaintance involved in prostitution is permissible when the loan is for daily needs such as paying house rent. The ruling may change to disliked or forbidden if the lender is certain the money will be used for wastefulness or transactions prohibited by Islamic law, such as buying items for adultery, alcohol or gambling. The lender should also advise the borrower to leave sinful conduct, as being comfortable befriending a wrongdoer without any effort to change them is discouraged.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun begitu, keharusan boleh berubah menjadi makruh bahkan haram sekiranya pemberi pinjam atau pemiutang meyakini bahawa peminjam akan menggunakan duit hasil pinjaman tersebut untuk tujuan membazir atau terlibat dengan transaksi yang diharamkan Syarak
