Disposing of money from bank rental
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I rented out a property to one of the banks for a long period, but in the end it became clear to me that renting to banks is forbidden. Since I am bound to the bank for a specific period, I decided to rectify the money taken from the bank rental. Is it permissible for me to dispose of this money by giving it to the Afghan mujahideen, or building a mosque, or doing some good deed? And if that is not permissible, what should I do with this money? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you spend it on the mujahideen or on some good deeds, you have done well. This is the straight path, and this is the way out. After this, you must stop renting to banks, because this is cooperating with them in sin and aggression. The banks contain a lot of riba (usury or interest), so it is not permissible to cooperate with them, neither by renting to them nor by working for them, until they abandon riba. May Allah guide us and you.
