Question

Is it permissible to saver money in a savings account in an Islamic bank? We are only using the actual money which we have saved. Whatever savings profit we receive from the bank, e.g. 2% etc. will be given to the poor

Answer

On account of some unpleasant experiences we have had with these banks we no more consider them to be Islamic.

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.
