Q: I live in India, and employed in a company. I get my salary in cheque which would be deposited to my ‘saving account in the bank’. It generates interest after every two or three couple of months according to the norms. I pay income tax on my salary and if the interest that is generated reaches a particular amount then I have to pay tax on that also. My question is: Can I use that interest amount in exchange of the income tax I pay?
A: If you are in financial constraints you may use it.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
