What is the ruling on dealing with a bank that has two windows, one for Islamic transactions and the other for interest-based transactions, with a Sharia committee for the Islamic window? And is this considered a stratagem to attract money for haram, especially since stratagem regarding haram is a characteristic of the Jews, as in the story of the People of the Sabbath?

If the bank, through its Islamic window, operates independently with its transactions from the interest-based origin and adheres strictly to -compliant dealings, then there is no harm in dealing with it. Otherwise, it is impermissible to deal with it if its transactions are merely a trick.
