Question
Praise be to Allah.
Amaanah personal financing
through HSBC is based on tawarruq via the bank (al-tawarruq al-masrafi) as
is clearly stated on the bank’s website in English.
See:
http://www.hsbcamanah.com/1/2/hsbc-amanah/personal/personal-finance
This is a haraam transaction,
because it involves a trick to circumvent the rulings on riba.
The Islamic Fiqh Council has
issued a statement ruling that organized tawarruq done via the bank is
haraam. We have quoted the text of this statement in the answer to question
no. 98124.
And Allaah knows best.
