- I'm sorry man, I'm in no place to tell you what to do. But I can advise to go ask a sheikh (Imam) as soon as possible...
- Yes it is permissible. If you are in a non Muslim Country. http://sistani.org/local.php?modules=nav&nid=5&cid=415
- In the Hanafi Madhab you can accept interest from bank accounts because they are happy to pay you. Other schools disagree.
- If they're giving you money, and not charging you interest on it, why would it be a problem? They're the ones who are involved in the interest, not you. You can't take it that far ... what if you owned a business ... ? You don't know where the money is coming from that people pay you with. It just doesn't make sense to me that it would be wrong to take your parent's money. Also they might be hurt that you won't accept their help.
- Only you can answer that. Also I thought this was part of the culture you live. Families helping each other.
- No, you should not. no matter what. All kinds of usury are Haram in Islam, be they from a bank or from any other sources. Allah Says (Interpretation of meaning): { O you believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from RIBA (usury)(from now onward), if you are (really) believers} .[2:278] Allah Says (Interpretation of meaning): {whereas Allâh has permitted trading and forbidden Ribâ (usury)}. [2:275] Allah says: {O you who believe! Be afraid of Allâh and give up what remains (due to you) from Ribâ (usury) (from now onward), if you are (really) believers{} And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allâh and His Messenger[] but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums)} [2:277, 278] Rest Allah knows the best~!
- Yes, you can.
- Yes in Qur'an Allah spoke that interest is haram.But in the hjistory the haram interest was not for business only for daily needs with additionsal charge was too high and be decided by the lender.In modern life,if we deposit our money in Bank, interest is given by Bank and we can not bargain its rate. So there is 2 opinions about interest.The 1st opinion ,interest is haram in line with Qur'an and the 2nd opinion ineterest is not haram (can be received). because it was not deciderd by the lender .In your case your mother gave part of her salary from bank to you for your daily need.There is a hadit of Muhammad pbuh which said that if you received some money from other,do not ask from what source she/he earned it.We should receive it without question and we should treat it as our livelihood (rezeki) given by Allah through another person or in your case from your mother.
- As a loan you Can take it i think but as a financial Aid you cannot, but you have to consult your nearest Imam.
- as soon as you knew that this money is from a usury transaction so you will be severely punished if you accept it. it is surly haram
