[2599] al-ʿUthuww (taʿthaw being the jussive form, second person plural verb) is the worst kind of corruption (cf. Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah).
Although, the ramifications and repercussions of financial fraud are widespread and seriously socially disruptive and its unchecked spread generates a most dire consequence on the prosperity and sustainability of any community (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr), it was not by any means their only sin: “Do not also sit ˹in ambush˺ at every path threatening and turning away from the road of Allah those who Believe wanting it to be crooked” (7: 86).
