Using interest money to pay transfer duties
Question
In the case of a transfer of ownership of a property, can interest be used to pay the transfer duties (to SARS)?
Answer
If it is a fee that does not come with any service then some ulama say that it is alright to pay with interest.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
