The Ruling on Accepting Bank Gifts

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on accepting the gifts that banks give to holders of current accounts?

Answer:
It is not permissible. It is not permissible to accept gifts from banks; because they want to encourage you to keep your balance with them, and they are riba (usury or interest) banks. Yes.
