Earning Ebucks from an Islamic cheque account
Question
I read your article about eBucks being tantatmount to riba. My question is, if I have an Islamic Banking cheque acccount that earns a variable profit share and a credit card that I settle monthly in full on due date and hence pay no interest, is the ebucks earned still tantatmount to riba?
Answer
It is still not free of contamination.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
