The type of support provided by commercial banks determines the ruling on the transaction. If it requires opening an account or obtaining a credit card from an interest-based bank, it is impermissible, because dealing with interest-based banks is forbidden when an Islamic alternative exists. If the item is only available in that bookstore, it can be purchased without entering into a forbidden transaction. One can borrow the price or engage in a Tawarruq transaction with Islamic financial institutions.
