Q: At the Communities Enlightenment Bureau,
we receive some offers from banks that use Riba (usury/interest) to print some booklets related to Da`wah (calling to Islam) on the condition that the name of the bank is to be printed on these booklets.
We hope that you will give us your Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar), may Allah bless you, concerning accepting or rejecting this offer.
A:
You should not accept these offers because printing the names and logos of these banks on the booklets related to Da`wah is regarded as propaganda, recommendation, and encouragement to deal with them, as well as making little of the prohibited transactions. This is legally forbidden, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says:
Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
