Question
Salaams,
I keep a balance in my Airtel Money in case of any transactions. Airtel then credits my account with cash every so often. This is referred to as Airtel Rewards and is typically a small amount compared to my balance. The Airtel Rewards amount increases with my balance
Would this be considered interest? Is it permissible to use?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
This is similar to a cashback scheme. It will be considered to be a gift from Airtel to its customer.[1] It is permissible.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
