Using interest money to offset bank charges
Question
Can you use interest money to offset bank charges?
Answer
It is not permissible to use interest to pay for any service. Interest should be disposed of by giving it to the poor without the intention of receiving 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.
