Commentary
1. Since such people violate the inherent instinctive nature, they are deserving of the curse.
2. ‘The joiner or fastener of hair’: To add artificial hair to one’s genuine hair (hair extensions) is cheating and deception, which is contrary to the human innate nature.
3. ‘The taker and giver of Ribâ (interest)’: The bedrock of interest is miserliness and selfishness, which is contrary to the innate human nature. Since the giver of interest is conducive to keeping the corrupt system of interest in perpetuity, he was also associated within the ruling of interest.
4. ‘The one who makes the woman lawful’ means the man who marries a woman who has been irrevocably divorced on the condition of his divorcing her after copulating with her, in order that she may become lawful to (be married to) the former husband.
