What is the ruling on paying a traffic fine from the interest of a bank?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He has a traffic violation of fifty dinars, and he says he is wronged, meaning he ran the light when it was not red, but the traffic officer fined him. He has a brother who works in the army and receives a pension, so he pays them about sixty or seventy dinars in interest on top of his salary. Is it permissible for him to take fifty dinars from this person and pay the fine?
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : ... The point is we thought about, we thought about a machine.
The Shaykh : And the mouse does not eat the shaving.
The questioner : No, never mind, some work... he is training on me and I am training on him.
The Shaykh : No, it is better for you to have your husband.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If it were.
The questioner : Better.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : A machine, if Allah wills...
The Shaykh : There is an electric machine, and you might find it cheap in Saudi Arabia.
The questioner : Yes, there is.
The Shaykh : This is very comfortable.
The questioner : Does it run on the car battery, or on electricity?
The Shaykh: No, no.
The questioner : No, on the house electricity.
The Shaykh : I mean in the house.
The questioner : Oh, in the house, oh?
The Shaykh : Yes, I have one that is about ten years old.
The questioner : What Allah willed.
The Shaykh : And I have never gone to a barber, today Abu 'Umar did it, I told you his story.
The questioner : He told me, my Shaykh, yes.
The Shaykh : This barber who I sent to al-Bara' Mosque, al-Bara' Mosque...
The questioner : Oh, I know him.
The Shaykh : Oh, he was a long time ago, meaning he was with us and with the da'wah and so on, and then it seems that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) guided him, so he attended with us for a session for a few months. The point is, I took him in the car and dropped him off at his shop. He said to me, "O Shaykh, where do you get your hair cut? So we can serve you." I said to him, "May Allah reward you with good, I do not need a barber." He said, "How?" I said, "I have an electric machine, and whenever I need a shave, my wife shaves me."
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
Another questioner : Self-sufficiency.
The Shaykh : You see!!
The Shaykh : First, it saves the moral aspect, because it is rare to find a barber on the Sunnah, he must, meaning, shave the beards, right?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So that place would be an ill-omened place, a blameworthy place. So this is the first great profit for you in that you accept the Shaykh's advice.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : The second profit comes to you, a material profit, yes, it is something not worth mentioning, but over time it accumulates. Then there is a third profit: that you train your sons to be independent of barbers as well, especially if their excuses end and their beards start to grow, what do they do, go to the barber to shave him? Yes, here, when he gets used to his brother shaving for his brother, or his mother if there is no other brother or something like that.
The questioner : It has good qualities.
The Shaykh : These are profits, Mr. Professor.
The questioner : This is training for the future.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : My Shaykh, you are talking about the material aspect, the material aspect is very much.
The Shaykh : I do not know, because how is it with you, I do not know, by Allah.
The questioner : My Shaykh, my sons 'Abd al-Rahman and 'Abd Allah now need a shave every two months.
The Shaykh : Hmm.
The questioner : Every two months I pay a dinar, and I also every two or three months need a dinar, it is two dinars, and the whole machine from Saudi Arabia is about thirty dinars, maybe.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : It does not exceed this price.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I bought it in the Emirates in Dubai.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : For a hundred dirhams.
The questioner : A hundred dirhams, it is like that in Saudi Arabia, it became five hundred, one hundred and fifty means twenty dinars...
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : ... The point is we thought about, we thought about a machine.
The Shaykh : And the mouse does not eat the shaving.
The questioner : No, never mind, some work... he is training on me and I am training on him.
