The answer to your question is as follows:

Interest and all interest based dealings are strongly forbidden in Islam. The Qur'an and Ahadith are very clear on the prohibition of interest. The Holy Quran says that those who return to dealing in interest are the companions of the Fire and that they will face a painful punishment in the Hereafter. The Hadith says that the receiver and the payer of interest, the one who records it and the two witnesses to the transaction are all alike in guilt. It means involving in such a transaction in any way is prohibited for a Muslim.

Thus buying Life Insurance policy which comprises of interest and gambling is not allowed in Islam. However, if it is extremely necessary or legally required, then it maybe allowed with some conditions. So before proceeding ahead, one must consult the Ulama with full details.

The answer to your question is as follows:

Bank serves its customers and in return it levies charges as service fees which are allowable in Shariah. The interest money can be given in unlawful charges but these charges are not considered unlawful in Shariah. Thus it is not allowed to pay interest money in ATM and credit card and bank’s service charges. But the minimum account balance penalty would be considered unlawful in shariah. Hence one maybe allowed using interest money received from bank to pay its maintenance fees.

The answer to your question is as follows:

Taking loan is not allowed in normal conditions. However, if one takes loan in a dire need, or to protect oneself from falling prey to transgressors etc., it may be allowable. But it requires much caution before proceeding ahead. If you think it is necessary to take loan, then you have to write your necessities to Darul Ifta so that we can suggest if you can take interest-based loan or not. You must not name your desire as a necessity.
