The answer

"Using a Visa card is permissible if it is free of charge. However, if the issuing entity charges interest (other than the issuance fee), then it is not permissible to use it. Furthermore, it is not permissible to consume what has been purchased with it if it is known that it was bought with usurious money. It is akin to something bought with wine. This is the view of the Shafi'is and the Hanbalis."
