The Ruling on Gifts Given by Banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: The gifts that banks give, such as calendars that bear the bank's name, is this not advertising for them and an endorsement?The Shaykh: If they give it to you, you do not deposit anything with them. They want more; perhaps the greatest thing they want is advertising, not doing good to others. But keep it for yourself and do not make it advertising. Keep it, for example, in your private room so that no one is misled and says: Since you are encouraging these people, the matter is easy in this regard.
I do not see anything wrong with this, but if you are afraid—and this depends on each person individually—if you are afraid that this, for example, will make the matter of banks easy for them, then do not accept it.
The questioner: Is there not an endorsement of them in it?The Shaykh: No.
There is no endorsement in it.
