The question involves two matters:
1. The ruling on purchasing an item on credit with the intention of selling it and benefiting from its price (Tawarruq): The preponderant view is that it is permissible, provided that the second buyer is not the first seller; otherwise, it would be a "Inah" transaction.
2. The ruling on placing money in interest-based banks and benefiting from interest-based returns: Its ruling has been clarified in previous fatwas.
