Question

My question is that if there are points offered by Credit Card, can we use them or not? Are they haraam or Halaal?

Answer

The points earned from the bank through one's credit card is interest. Refrain from using these points. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/5380

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
