Ruling on Using an Automatic Card Based on an Account
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Al-Rajhi Bank issues an automatic card based on an account. Does this card involve riba (usury or interest) or not, and what is the ruling on using it?The Shaykh: How is that? I did not understand.
The questioner: The card takes five thousand from your balance from any bank?The Shaykh: There is nothing in it; this is a matter of facilitation.
The questioner: If you open an account with Al-Rajhi Bank, they issue you a card, and by means of this card you can withdraw an amount of your money from any bank other than Al-Rajhi?The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing in it; because you did not give riba (usury or interest) nor take riba (usury or interest), and this is a matter of cooperation between these banks, so there is nothing in it.
