Zaytouna Bank is an Islamic bank, and dealing with it is generally permissible. It is better than usurious banks, and Islamic banks should be encouraged while others are boycotted. As for selling fabric from which women make their head coverings, it is permissible, due to the possibility of its use in permissible ways. Means that can be used for both permissible and forbidden purposes are not forbidden to sell, unless their use in forbidden ways predominates.
