Offering customers credit cards
Question
I work in a department store, and as part of the job we are obliged to ask customers if they want a store card, which is a credit card, and if they do, to open accounts for them. What is the ruling on credit cards, and is this work permissible?
Answer
It is permissible if it does not involve any usurious transaction.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
