My name is Abdullah. I am currently staying in Dubai in search of job. I converted to Islam 4 years back. 3 days ago I went to my uncle’s home in Abu Dhabi. He gave me 500 Dirham. At that time one person came to his home in selling of credit card. From their discussion I heard that my uncle has taken loan from some bank and it will be closed within 3 months. But I did not hear about any bank interest on their speech. My uncle is a non-Muslim. He is working in an Oil and Gas company. My question is that can I use that money? If it is not allowed to use, can I use that money when I am not having any money?
Answer:
(Fatwa: 1088/911/B=1433)
Five hundred Dirham which your non-Muslim uncle gave you are purely halal and lawful without any doubt. It is not interest or haram money. You can use that money.
