Abstract

One of the most important issues of today’s society is usury since the last years. Although it is denied in the religious emphases, it is unfortunately increasing in our present society, so recognizing the criminal policy is important to control it. The issue of usury is a subject blamed by the religious doctrines and since the Muslim countries such as Egypt is trying to enforce the religious affairs so as Iran does, recognizing their criminal policy about usury and comparing it with the criminal policy of Iran can be an effective step for the realization of the Islamic economy. So, it is tried to examine the guilt of usury in Iran and Egypt’s criminal policies in this article by an analytical method to recognize the suitable criminal policies for encountering the guilt of usury. In Iran, it seems that the answer to government usury is a general deviation, and in Egypt, in special circumstances and without jurisprudence, the answer is government, and in other cases the answers are comprehensive.
