It is not permissible to use credit cards that contain an interest-based condition or lead to falling into usury, even if the person intends to pay on time. Marketing these cards is forbidden because it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who pays it, its scribe, and its two witnesses. A Muslim should strive to seek lawful sustenance, for whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better, and whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect.
