			The third question is from sayfullo Hussain annoy. I am robell
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			from Manila dish.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:22
			My question is, I have a savings account which provides me interest and I want to give it to the
poor people. Is it possible?
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:29
			a similar question is posed by finance Fatima, can we give interest money in charity?
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:53
			a similar question from Hassan Abu Bakar. Sir, I have a bank account which has interest, could I
remove the interest amount without taking it from the account, but giving from other source? What
can I do with this interest? From the question posed by these three questioners, it is clear that
they realize that interest in Dubai is haram
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:11
			and Allah mentions the word Riba in the Quran no less than eight times and Allah clearly mentioned
in Surah Baqarah chapter number two was number 278 and 279 that if you give up not your demands for
Riba for interest, then take notice of a war from Atlantis.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:02:03
			Riba is a major sin in Islam and according to Imam Abu Dhabi, he places Riba interest as 12 major
sin in Islam, our beloved Prophet Musa Rossum said, it's mentioned Mr. That Allah came and did
number two to five nine, a beloved prophet masala, some said there are 73 levels or 73 types of
rubber and the lowest level is equivalent to doing dinner with your mother. It says I had it the
lowest level of Riba is like doing dinner with your mother that for a beloved Prophet said and Allah
says that if you give up not your demands of Riba of interest, take notice of a war from Allah and
His result. There is hardly any thing you can find in the Quran or the Hadith in which Allah says,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			Allah will wage a war against you, if you indulge in that sin.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			Imagine it is such a grievous hinny a sin Rama
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			regarding the question posed by
		
00:02:18 --> 00:03:02
			all three questioners, that what to do with the interest money, then we give in charity 10 entocort
from the bank and giving charity tend to keep the money in the bank and gift from outside equivalent
amount in charity as far as taking interest money giving a charity if you have to take the interest
money giving charity before giving, you have to take. So taking Ribeira so even if you take rebind,
giving charity when that era, the moment you take interest, you're waging a war against one another.
So there's no question of taking, even taking the Riba and giving the charities around. You have
already done that, by giving in charity, you are lowering the degree but yet the Haram act is done.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:10
			If you ask me the question, I did not know till today, rabbis haram and I already have interest What
to do? That's a separate question.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			But if someone says I'll keep the money in the bank, and I'll give the interest
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			to the poor people,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:43
			I would ask them to question and I've asked this question too many, I know there are some scholars
who say that no problem keep it in the bank, take the money and give it in charity is permitted I
disagree with these columns totally. I would like to ask them that if I asked you that can i deal in
drugs in cocaine brown sugar, or can I open at a call factory
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:57
			and I invest $1 million and full 100% profit I get more than a million dollar a year I give that
full seven and a half crore Indian rupees in charity. Is it permissible? 100% reason why I said why
it's wrong.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:36
			If that is haram, having alcohol or dealing in alcohol or in drugs, it is the 19th major sin in the
book of a mama double major sins and Riba is 12 major sin, so when you can give me permission for
the higher mind to give me permission for the loss and and imagine when you deal in alcohol, though
it's a major sin, our land is the soul doesn't wage a war against you. But when you're dealing in
Riba whether giving or taking Allah and literally waging a war against you, when you're giving me
permission to take the profit
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:53
			of interest, money, and giving charity and no problem, you should also give me permission to have an
alcohol company 100% giving charity Let me deal in drugs, cocaine, brown sugar, no scholar will give
you permission to deal in cocaine and 100% you can give charity.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:05:00
			Famously, same thing in Russia when you're dealing in Russia, it is spoiling the society I've given
a full talk on
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:16
			interest free economy promulgated by the Glorious Quran, it makes a poor man more poor and OLED is
the sulphate of war. So, according to me taking interest meant giving a charity also Haram, there
may be a situation that today you have come to know it is haram.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:53
			And you already have interest when you want to do that I can answer, but if you shall keep on
continuing keeping in the bank and take the interest and giving charity that is totally Haram, Allah
is a fool will wage a war against you, it is totally prohibited, if you did not know till now, and
today we have come to know then what can you do with the money that can be answered, and many
scholars the goon option, for example, Chairman Botha said that this money you can give in paying
debts of the other people. But natural all the scholars say that the interest money you cannot
utilize for yourself,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:15
			though you cannot take interest. But if it's the last resort, it has come due to unwillingness, for
example, there is pension, in the pension without your permission, they keep it in some interest
based investment. It's coming without your willingness. That's a different question. Or you have
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:58
			someone in your job or your company, it comes in directly in which you have no control, but you
cannot yourself open a savings account or a fixed deposit and then give the money to it. No, that's
not permitted. If you did, and you say I will never do it again, then I can tell you what can you do
with the money number one, you can give it to the debtors. Those one debt. Number two, you can use
it for building toilets or bathrooms. Number three, you can give to charity to the poor people but
you can't give it in charity to your dependents, you can give it to your son or daughter they are
dependents you can give to a mother and father they are dependents. In short, you cannot give it to
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:38
			those people who you will inherit from In short, and neither can you give it to those people which
is your duty to take care of them. You cannot give it to someone who you're supposed to take care
of, you can give it to a third party who is not under your care. But as far as debt is concerned
according to check in with aimia you can even give to those people who are under your care whether
it be a son whether it be a father, because that is not a liability or liability to take care of the
data relevant. So, if your father or if your son or your daughter is in debt, you can use that money
for them also normal Zakat you can use for a dependent but for debt you can similarly this money
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:11
			what you have which unwillingly came to you you can use this interest money for paying the debt even
if you're dependent on anyone else you can use it for poor people or not your dependents you can use
for charity or for building toilets, but see to it that you do not continue indulging in the rebar
because Allah is very clear cut that if you want to repent there are minimum of five things that you
should do number one agree it is wrong. So now you have agreed that rabbis wrong Okay, number two
stop it immediately. That was a Virginia account. You can't tell continue.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:48
			You have to stop that account put in the current account. If you think it is a requirement to have a
bank account okay I have a current account. I lived in India we live in non Muslim countries. And
you can have a current account current account doesn't involve a bi dot see to it that you open an
account in which there is no Riba some accounts have been opened a current account which is
absolutely free of Riba because when you open a savings account, you're assigning you're giving them
permission to use your money and give you rebar. If you open a fixed deposit, then you're giving
them permission to use your money and they're giving you a report that's totally wrong. So, if you
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:10
			have an account with a fixed deposit or if you have a savings account converted to a Riba free
current account, then what money if you can give it in the ways that have told you regarding if you
have money in the bank and you have outside money yes, you can swap it no problem but fee to it, but
you cannot continue with that account even that's wrong, what you have to do you have to come out of
that account
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:29
			and open a current account. If you feel that keeping money in your house is difficult it is not safe
again keep in the bank or you may have to involve in making transaction by cheque which may be a
legal requirement. Open a current account which is absolutely free from it but best is to open an
Islamic bank and current account.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:48
			Next Best is if there is no Islamic bank, in your country or in the area we are living. second best
if you can open a conventional bank but see to it it is a current account free from Riba what Rabbi
you had because of your ignorance that you can give it to the poor people. It is permissible
