Interest and Gambling

Paying interest fees with interest money

Q: Is it permissible to pay interest fees with the interest received, from and to the same party. 

E.g. A bank rewards its client with an interest % for utilising a savings account. On the other hand, the same bank charges the client an interest fee for using its credit card facility. Can the client pay the latter with the interest received? As it will be returning the same interest to the bank.

Franchise charging insurance to their customers

Q: We have a tyre business which is a Dunlop franchise, they have this tyre insurance for the customers. Any damage to the tyre and they send a replacement after doing their tests. They charge us R10 per tyre for this which I pass onto the customer.

I add it to the cost and then add my markup. I tried getting out of this but it’s compulsory from their side.

How should I handle this… Is it permissible?

Should I add my markup first then the R10. Because my intention is not to make money on the insurance…
