Sometimes the bank gives me a gift, so should I accept it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Due to my deposits in the bank, and because I am a distinguished client of theirs, the bank sometimes gives me a gift.
Answer:
No, do not take a gift. This becomes an investment. If you take a gift, it becomes an investment. It is not permissible for you to do this. You should only deposit it for safekeeping, not for investment, whether with a gift or otherwise.
