Gifts Offered by Banks

Answered as per Maliki Fiqh by BinBayyah.net

Riyad Bank presented to me some valuable stationery as gifts offered to clients. Is it permissible to use such gifts? And if not, what must I do? May Allah guide you to goodness.

First, to be on the safe side, the questioner’s account must be in a non-usurious bank.

Second, as a precaution, it is better to give away the stationery to someone who needs them or as a charity. Anyway, you can keep it, according to a well-founded opinion of some Muslim scholars (such as Ibn Mas`ud and others) that it is ok to accept gifts from a usurer.
