Deoband: Muslims should avoid marrying in families employed in banking sector, as the whole banking system works on ‘interest,’ which is illegitimate (haram) in Islam, said a fatwa issued by the Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband.
Head of the Darul Ifta department Mufti Habiburrahman Khairabadi, who releases fatwas, here on Thursday talked about a person, who was getting marriage proposal from a family, where the father earned money from a banking job. ‘Is it preferable to marry in such families,’ the man wanted to know, said Mufti Khairabadi.
