Unlike Goods
When are goods considered unlike each other for purposes of avoiding riba?
If substantive value addition to the good entirely transforms its original form and content (e.g. oak wood and oak furniture), then the goods are considered unlike, regardless of weight. In cases where the end product is inherently similar to the original product, such as with gold jewellery, scholars advise that the gold should first be denominated in cash before exchanging it for jewellery.
