Dear sumaan
am i appearing in a Exam???
being away from Pakistan i dont know what Al-Meezan bank does, however, i can definitely find out what they do or whether it is haram or halal.
here i would like to point out a fact that I have heard similar kind of responses from many people that if interest is haram then why
Al-abcxyz bank pay interest. we must understand that by putting "AL-" before any name doesnot mank a COMMERCIAL (interest paying) bank to a Islamic bank. we should also note that if a so-called islamic bank pays interest and calls it mark-up, profit or whatever it doesn't mean that rule about riba is wrong.
interest has nothing to do with what banks or muslims do, if u read my first msg u will find some very basic points why INTEREST IS HARAM and if u want to know more about it then please read a book "SOOD" by Maulana Maudoodi.
if u know the answer to ur question then please also enlighten our minds.
meanwhile i will try to find out the answers myself
Kind Regards
Azeem

Please try to go through the Page 2 of this thread... You'll find my answer there...
Shariah allows payment of interest as long as it complies with Shariah terms, just like Al-Meezan Bank operates (and also all other Saudi banks)... I have talked to various religious individuals who have proper knowledge about Islamic Economics... And they all have approved that Al-Meezan Bank's operations are in compliance with Islamic Economics.
