Is it permissible to receive interest on fixed deposits in banks according to Islamic law?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
i am clerk in government service if i put my savings as fixed deposit in bank, the intrest on fixed deposit is lawful, inshaallah give me reply.

Answer

(Fatwa: 451/321=L/1430)

The interest gained out of fixed deposit is also haram; if you invest your saving in any business the income will be lawful. Therefore, it is better to invest the amount in any fair business, instead of fixed deposit.
