Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

It is impermissible to write these reports if they are directly relevant to Riba because this is considered one of the means of cooperating in sin and aggression. Allaah Almighty Forbade such cooperation. Allaah Almighty Says (what means): {But do not cooperate in sin and aggression} [Quran 5:2] However, if these reports are not relevant to Riba, then it is permissible to write them.

Allaah Knows best.
