Slow lounges at airports
Question
With some bank accounts e.g. FNB platinum, access is gained to "slow" lounges in airports, where meals and rest etc can be taken. Is it permissible to use these lounges?
Answer
If these benefits are received through the bank, then it will be impermissible for one to benefit from it. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/5380
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
