Question
A woman has several credit cards and owes the bank about half a million. She is extremely generous and helpful to who ever is in need of financial assistance. People think she's rich, but she does not own a penny of her own, rather it is the bank's money that she is using to assist people and also herself. She feels she is not doing anything wrong by paying quite a lot of interest a month when she has to pay her monthly payments. She claims that she pays some fee to the bank monthly so that in the event of her death her debt will automatically be squared and nobody will be burdened with her debt. Is this kind of mentality accepted? Is her charity of any reward for her?
Answer
This woman is under the spell of Shaitaan. There is no reward for her charity. Her haraam indulgence in riba is satanically inspired. Her argument is baseless.
