 <\/p>\n

Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I need to know about a situation. One of our close-known family is having such a tough time even to survive. I want to help but even I am not so well off to provide with basic necessities each month.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So in that case I’m thinking to put my all savings accounts and each month the interest that will come at least they could eat three times n survive well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That interest amount I won’t use for any of my personal use but if it could help some to eat and live so will that be a sin?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May Allah Ta\u2019ala make it easy for your family. The jurists have stated that interest is not permissible to utilize1<\/sup><\/a> as it is clearly prohibited in The Quran \u201cBut Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest\u201d2<\/sup><\/a>, and The Ahadeeth of The Prophet \ufdfa Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas’ud: The Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) cursed the one who accepted usury, the one who paid it, the witness to it, and the one who recorded it.3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please reach out to the various Charity and Zakat organizations for help.<\/span><\/p>\n
