The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on renting out a location for an electronic ATM, but it is affiliated with a riba bank?
The Shaykh:
If you have a balance in the bank, if you have a balance in the bank and you withdraw from your balance using the card, there is nothing wrong with that. You withdraw from the bank where you have a balance. As for withdrawing from another bank, and the other bank takes from your balance and takes an extra amount from the bank, this is lending to the bank where you have a balance with an increase, which is not permissible. Take from the ATM of the bank where you have your balance. Yes.

This withdrawal is permissible. If you have a balance and people have balances and they withdraw from them, this is permissible. It is not permissible to rent out the location, because this does not involve riba; this is withdrawal from existing balances, and people need this.
