Question:
He says: When I visit the bank, the manager offers me tea and coffee, and sometimes I perform wudu in the bank and pray with them. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
Prayer is a righteous deed, so if they pray, pray with them. They are Muslims; they are Muslims, not disbelievers. If they are dealing in riba (usury or interest), that is a sin, but it does not take them out of Islam. If people do good, do good with them. If they pray, pray with them. This is obedience, so they are Muslims. But avoid riba and transactions with them, and do not cooperate with them in riba, or testify to it, or write it, or respond to their customers who deal in riba with them. Do not cooperate with them in anything.
