Charging interest is haram in Islam. We try our best not only to not charge interest, but to avoid paying interest. So, always try to find things 0% interest.

Is job in conventional banking Halal?

Yes. Conventional banking involves giving and receiving interest payments which as per Islamic laws is not acceptable. Hence it is Haram or not Halal. However there are a number of banks that provide Islamic banking facilities to the customers who follow Islam as their religion. If you work for them then it is Halal. The preceding response is terribly misleading and self negating . First, it is not permissible to lend money and charge interest in Islam . Anything which is not permissible is therefore NOT HALAL . If you work for these banks you are not complying with Islamic law (HALAL) . Islamic banks cannot charge interest . If they do, they are also in violation of HALAL . Therefore, the answer you are seeking is an emphatic NO ! Conventional banking is not HALAL because money is loaned for profit . Answer -2 Borrowing/lending money for prophet/interest is one of the most despised activities in Islam. Whatever or whichever label you put on it, it will remain Haram. Labeling a dog as goat can't make the dog Halal. Putting 'Islamic' on alcohol bottle will not make the contents Halal. The so-called 'Muftis' who give fatwas declaring Islamic Banking halal are, in fact, at war against Almighty Allah and beloved Prophet (SAW). May Almighty Allah bless us with the wisdom that is required to understand the holy Qur'an!


Is fixed deposit halal?

Nope ! What does an FD give you? Fixed "interest" over a period of time, not matter what. Hence, any transaction, where you get guaranteed PROFIT (without any share in loss), is haram. The bank takes your money and gives it to other borrowers at a higher interest. It keep the difference to show its "profit" and pay the salaries. The remaining interest (it receives from borrower) is passed to you. Interest in any form is HARAM - whether from FD or savings accounts or debentures or bonds. Quran says 2:275 Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest 3:130 O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful. Rather, invest in halal shares/stocks or land. Aqribullahuqarazanhasana

Is giving interest haram?

Yes, giving and receiving interest (riba) is considered haram (forbidden) in Islamic finance. This prohibition is rooted in Islamic teachings, which emphasize fairness and ethical financial practices. Instead of interest-based transactions, Islamic finance promotes profit-sharing and risk-sharing arrangements that align with Shariah principles. Therefore, engaging in interest-based practices is discouraged among Muslims.
