Do you work out on the days your muscles feel sore? I feel like I've been told both that you shouldn't and that you should despite the pain. Which one is it? I'm slightly new to lifting .... or let's say, I've been on and off for a few years now but planning to stick it out for this one!

I alternate muscle groups so I have at least one day between them. The only thing that I will hit multiple days in a row is core. That I only adjust if I feel like I'm too tired to do something like squatting safely.

I personally don't. At least not when they're very sore. If it's a slight pain, then I take my rest days very seriously.

I have a schedule of different areas to focus on, so while I will be sore, it is taking the focus off one area. I do try to at least keep to something basic when I might not be feeling great. But none of this is lifting based either, so keep that in mind.

Do you have a set structure where you split muscle groups on different days? That’s what the other commenters have mentioned and if you do and your whole body is sore, I’d say maybe throw a rest day in the middle or an active recovery day (ie. light full body movements, cardio, yoga). Otherwise id say still go and work a different muscle group so the sore muscles can recover

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
