The ruling on dealing with interest-based banks without taking the interest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man deals with interest-based banks, and I asked him why he deals with banks; he said: "I do not take the interest-based interest?"
Answer:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who consumes riba (usury or interest), the one who gives it, the scribe, and the two witnesses, and he said: "They are all equal." So cooperating with one who takes riba (usury or interest) and deals in riba (usury or interest) is a dealing that is not permissible; because Allah said: [Al-Ma'idah: 2] So it is not permissible for a believer to engage in riba (usury or interest) in transactions.

but do not cooperate in sin and aggression
وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
