Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view on using automated teller machines in riba banks, given that the capital is in a bank that does not deal in riba?
Answer:
If you have a balance and you withdraw from your balance, there is nothing wrong with that. If you withdraw from your balance, there is nothing wrong with that, because you are taking from your right, not from the right of another. So withdrawing from your balance via the known machine is permissible. This is a facilitation for people, and it involves no injustice to anyone and no taking of anyone’s money. Yes.
