What is the ruling on dealing with banks through deposits?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am from Cairo, and I asked one of the Shaykhs about the validity of dealing with banks through deposits. He answered that it is lawful (halal), and said that if the profit is fixed, it is even more lawful. What is your opinion, O honorable one?
The Shaykh : I say that if what the questioner mentioned is true, and that he is dealing with clear, established riba (usury or interest), then this mufti (scholar who issues fatwas) issued a ruling based on the statement of those who say:[Al-Baqarah 2:275] So Allah refuted him by saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:275] And I say that it is obligatory for this mufti, if what the questioner said is true, to repent to Allah, to seek forgiveness from his Lord, and to announce publicly that he has retracted the ruling he issued. Otherwise, the sin of those who deal in riba based on his fatwa (scholarly legal ruling) would be upon him. And the sin of riba is not a light matter. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. And this questioner says: Is there anyone who slept...
The Shaykh : I hope the person who submitted this question will contact the one who issued the ruling for him, advise him, and warn him of Allah, and say: Repent to your Lord. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. And this questioner says: Is there anyone who slept after Fajr (the dawn prayer)?
The Shaykh : Is it?
The questioner : Is there anyone who slept
The Shaykh : Is it?
The questioner : Is there anyone who slept after the Fajr prayer, or during the day in general, such that the rulings regarding the recitations for sleep that were transmitted for the night would apply to him?
The Shaykh : Do not approach, do not approach the cat, is that it?
The questioner : Is there anyone who slept after the Fajr prayer
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The questioner : Or during the day, such that the rulings regarding the recitations for sleep that were transmitted for the night would apply to him?
The Shaykh : Here.
The Shaykh : I say that if what the questioner mentioned is true, and that he is dealing with clear, established riba (usury or interest), then this mufti (scholar who issues fatwas) issued a ruling based on the statement of those who say:
Trade is [just] like interest
إنما البيع مثل الرباBut Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest
أحل الله البيع وحرم الرباThe Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who eats riba (usury or interest), the one who feeds it to him, the two witnesses, and the scribe, and he said: They are all equal.
