Question 264
I place my money in a Swedish bank, and at the end of the year the bank gives me interest, which I then send to the poor of Iraq in order to avoid usury. I know that I receive no reward, but I wish to stay away from usury. I am compelled to place my money in the bank to protect it from theft. Am I right or wrong? Layth Salman - Sweden
Ahmed al-Hasan Response:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers upon Muhammad and his family, the Imams and the Mahdis, and grant them abundant peace. Usury exists between believers and between a believer and a Muslim who does not oppose the family of Muhammad by word or deed. There is no usury between a Muslim and a non-Muslim. The interest the mentioned bank gives you therefore belongs to you. You may spend it upon yourself, give it in charity, or do with it whatever you wish that pleases Allah. You receive a wage and reward for giving it in charity because it is money you own and have given in charity. Ahmed Alhasan
