The ruling on bank gifts to customers in exchange for their balance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: I opened an account at Al-Rajhi Bank, and the women’s department called me and gave me a gift, a watch, in exchange for this balance. What should I do with it?
Answer:
What balance?
Q: A balance in the bank. They found that her money was substantial, so they said: You deserve this gift: a valuable watch. The questioner says: I received it, so what should I do with it?
A: The most cautious course for her, and what appears to be the case, is that she sells it and gives the proceeds in charity, or otherwise returns it to them so that they understand that this is not permissible.
