Opening a bank account
Question
In India we have all transactions through our bank accounts. Is it against taqwa to deposit money in the bank? I never use interest but distribute it to the poor.
Answer
Where there is a genuine need the ulama have allowed it. However you should ensure that you guard yourself against interest and things that are of a doubtful nature.
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.
