Islam teaches that interest is forbidden, both receiving and paying it. In modern society many of us can end up accumulating it through our bank accounts even when we do not want it, which raises the question:
What do we do with this money?
As it is not permissible for us to consume, Islamic scholars have stated that interest which has been accrued should be given to a charity to use. However, we need to be aware that reward will not be given for this donation due to the haram process involved in the accumulation of the money.
Therefore HHUGS urges everyone to free themselves from risking the consuming of interest in the following ways:
1. Contact your Bank and ask them to automatically pay any interest directly to HHUGS Bank account
