The Ruling on Depositing Money in Banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for the radio, for any of the matters, to take the door without taking it from the Qur'an? Or to write it on the money, and not write it on the money, and not take a fee, and whether it is permissible to cause harm in it or not.
Answer:
Depositing in banks for the sake of preservation is permissible out of dire necessity. It is permissible to deposit your money to preserve it from theft and loss, from the perspective of dire necessity. As for depositing for the sake of investment and taking riba (usury or interest) profits, this is forbidden.
All banks are the same; I do not know of any banks that are better than others. They are all riba-based; they are all riba banks. But if you are compelled to deposit in them for preservation, there is no barrier, because Allah the Exalted says:[Al-An'am 6:119] So if the money remains with you, there is fear for you and fear that it will be stolen, and perhaps harm will befall you and you will face excessive uncertainty or killing. Praise be to Allah, our religion is easy. You deposit it and withdraw from it the amount of your need, but you do not take riba profits on it. Yes.
