Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What should one do if he is compelled to transfer his salary to a riba-based bank?
The work is acceptable because you dealt with the bank in a fair and sound manner, so there is no blame on you.
The questioner: Some people are hesitant; they take the coupon and use a card to withdraw the money before it is invested. Is this work valid?The Shaykh: What do you mean by that?The questioner: He uses a withdrawal card—specifically, a debit card—so that when the salary arrives, he takes it quickly so that they do not benefit from it.
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you with good. This is not prohibited.
