Q: I have both a Current Account as well as a Savings Account at the same bank. On both the accounts, the bank levies bank charges but the Savings Account is interest bearing.
In this situation, can the charges levied on both accounts by the bank be offset against the interest received on the Savings Account and then only dispose off the balance of the interest remaining?
Secondly, to whom should the interest be given? Can it be given to non-Muslims and even to street beggars or beggars knocking on doors every week?
Alternatively, can the interest be given to Darul Ulooms to assist poor students who cannot afford any fees?
