Advance salary service from the bank
Question
My bank name is Dubai Islamic Bank and they give advance salary and deduct 150 AED as services charges. They say it's not interest. Is it sood or not? I needed money and I want to confirm if it is sood. I didn't take it.
Answer
It is interest (sood).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
