Saving oneself from interest
Question
I am a software engineer working in a University. The salary is going to my bank account, please explain to me how to save myself from sood (interest). Currently my money is being saved in a local bank.
Answer
If this is the only way of you receiving your salary then you should give the amount of interest you receive away in charity to some poor person without the intention of reward.
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.
