Disposing of one bank’s interest from another bank’s account
Question
Assalaamualaikum,respected mufti Saheb. I have interest money to dispose off in one bank account. However I do not have access to those funds. Can I dispose of the interest from another account ? Or do I have to dispose of it from the account where it has accrued. Shukran
Answer
In the enquired case, it is preferred to dispose of the interest money from the bank that it was accrued in. However, if the interest of one bank account is disposed of from another account or source, it will be permissible to do so. (Shaami 2/290)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
