| Q.) When using credit cards, some banks give bonus miles or bonus
points for purchases and some other benefits. Please clarify it if we can use it. Every
month I pay off the total of account without paying an extra cent of interest. [Ayyub
Gajia] |
A.) If a Credit Card is used for purchases and the bills are paid
promptly without requiring to pay interest on late payment, it is permissible and the
benefits given by the Credit Card Company as rewards can be availed of. It is not
impermissible to benefit from such rewards.
