Question

Can i give monetory helpto a muslim from the bank interest ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuhu

JazakAllah for your question.

In principle, it is permissible for one to dispense interest funds to a Muslim who is a valid recipient of Zakat.

Kindly refer to Fatwa 21518 on dispensation of interest monies.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
