Okay, the core message that riba is inherently built into fiat money is something we've understood for a long time. And we also know that riba is a major evil. What I'm personally still missing is a fiqh-based assessment of how the use of fiat money is judged, especially now that sound money alternatives exist. Is it haram? Is it discouraged (makruh)? Is it permissible (mubah)?
