Question

Assalamwalaikum.. My mother gets pension every month from an interest based bank. I have my own income and live with my mother, father and wife in the same house. Most of the monthly expenses are paid from the pension money. Is it haram to use pension money received from Bank ? If yes, will I be sinful if some of the expenses are paid through the pension by my father since I live with them.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
