Using vouchers from a bank
Question
The bank that I use sometimes gives out vouchers for completing certain tasks such as a quiz or swiping your card a certain amount of times etc. Is it permissible to use these vouchers?
Answer
The main operations of banks revolve around interest which is clearly haraam. Hence, don't take any benefit from them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
