Q: I recently learnt that it is permissible for a Muslim to use interest money to pay fines, toll fees and vehicle licensing fees. Is this correct?
A: Using interest money to pay for valid bank services, toll road charges or any valid service (e.g. license fee, etc.) is impermissible. According to some Ulamaa, it is permissible to use interest money for paying taxes that are Islamically unjustifiable e.g. the rates of one’s property, government taxes and one’s speeding fines.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
