Is it permissible to open a savings account at Al Baraka Bank Tunisia, whose employees claim its transactions are Islamic and supervised by a group of scholars, while others question its legitimacy?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The consideration is not whether the bank is named "Islamic," but rather its adherence to Sharia regulations in its dealings, because the judgment on a bank depends on the absence of Sharia violations. We have no specific knowledge of this particular bank, and the questioner should inquire about it from trustworthy scholars in their country.
