What is the ruling on dealing with conventional banks through their Islamic branches?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the branch does not engage in usury and is not affected by the usurious bank, then there is no legal impediment to dealing with it, because Islam has permitted dealing with non-Muslims. However, if the branch sometimes engages in usury, then it is not permissible to deal with it, as that would be assisting in sin.
