Re: credit cards use - haram
I understand that using a credit card, getting a mortgage and anything that is interest bearing is Haraam... however thing like this are unavoidable in this day and age and especially when you are living in a non Islamic country. Yes, there are Islamic banks out there that offer Islamic products but you cannot say that they are completly interest free. They may not charge interest, however they have other non interest fees and it turns out to be the same kinda thing. Even watching TV is haraam and having pictures of ourselves is harraam, as is having pictures of anything that is livng. There are so many sins that we are not aware of, that we committ all day. This is certainly the case when ou are living in the west. Food items have ingredients written on them, but how do you REALLY trust what you are eating is 100% halal? You even hear stories of "halal" stores selling non-halal items.
