The use of automated teller machines for riba (usury or interest) banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is your view on using the automated teller machines of riba (usury or interest) banks, given that the capital in the bank does not deal in riba (usury or interest)?
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
He says, may Allah keep you safe: What is your view on using the automated teller machines in riba (usury or interest) banks, given that the capital in the bank does not deal in riba (usury or interest)?
The Shaykh:
If you have a card and you withdraw from your card, there is nothing wrong with that, because you are taking from your right what you take from the right of another, or from it. So withdrawing from your card is permissible, using the known machine. This is a facilitation for people, and it does not involve injustice to anyone, nor taking anyone’s money. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
