And I also wanted to ask you another question. I have a land which is going to be used for commercial purpose. So can I give a part of my land for setting up an ATM machine? Is it allowed in Islam?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 1139/1156/L=09/1436)
(1) In the above mentioned case, it is not lawful for the said person to use interest money for paying the compensation to the driver family. However, if he pays the compensation by taking debt and he himself turns debtor and eligible for zakah then it shall be lawful for others to give him interest money without the intention of reward.
(2) It is allowable to give one’s land to install ATM machine. However, it is not desired.
Allah knows Best!
