What is the ruling on transferring one's salary to the Jordan Kuwait Bank without engaging in loan transactions with it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the bank deals with usury and there are Islamic banks available to deal with, then it is not permissible to transfer the salary to the usurious bank, because merely depositing money and transferring the salary to it is considered cooperation in forbidden sin, as Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." However, if there is a necessary permissible purpose that is not available in Islamic banks, then it is permissible to transfer to the usurious bank to the extent of the necessity, and one must move away from it when no longer needed.
