Isnt the concept of interest free banking a subversion of the rule as laid down in Islamic law. Does it not violate the spirit of the law. Arent you paying interest just by another name.
Maddy one question I would like to ask is this--- Would you give me a interest free loan of 1 million dollars or the maximum amount you can afford. Sure I will give a surety for the same..
