The Ruling on the Practical Application of Banking Transactions in Interest-Based Banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the practical application of a study in interest-based banks, for example, a specific study at one of the universities, such as accounting or something else, where you are required to apply at a specific bank to submit a specific research paper to them: you state in it: I did such and such, and I found the result to be such and such in this bank, in terms of profits and losses, so studying these things,For example: the banking operations, whether studied or applied practically, is there anything wrong with it?
What I see is that it is not permissible at all to study riba, whether as a study, a field operation, or anything else. Rather, you study the methods of riba so that the methods become clear to you and you invalidate them,And you say: this is forbidden, and you deter people from it, so there is nothing wrong with that. As for going to the bank to apply, for example,So you look and say: if this is, by Allah, according to the system, and you mark it with a checkmark (correct) , and it is riba (100%) , how is this possible? We must refrain from it, even if we are ordered to do so.
The questioner: And if the students are ordered to do so and they acknowledge riba in order to obtain certain grades or something else?The Shaykh: It is never permissible, no matter what. For this reason, I advise the students, if they are ordered to do this, to refrain from it; because this is a boycott of disobedience to Allah, and boycotting disobedience to Allah is obedience to Allah.They say: How can you order us to acknowledge riba, when we know that it is riba in the Book of Allah? This is not possible.
