When the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was buying trade goods.

Then organizing a caravan and traveling long distances to sell them.

And when he sold the items.

He bought more trade goods with the profit, and then packed them on his caravan to take back to Mecca, and sell the goods for a profit.

That was pure and unabashedly engaging in financial "capitalism" for monetary gain.

So how you can say capitalism is kufr makes no sense.

Capitalism doesn't mean just selling goods getting profit through the sell, otherwise every economy on the would would be "capitalistic" in this meaning
Nor it means just recognizing private property.
