Can I use the money which I have in Turkish banks to purchase savings bonds and receive interest?
According to you, can I use the money which I have with Turkish banks to purchase bonds and benefit from its interest? What is meant by 'non-Islamic' country? Does it mean a system of government which does not operate in accordance with Islamic rules? Can the Turkish government which is not run according to Islamic rules be called Islamic government? Is it permissible to purchase bonds from the Turkish government and receive interest?

 

An answer given by Ayatollah Mahdi Hadavi Tehrani to the above question is as under:  There is no difference between depositing money in Turkish state-owned banks and buying savings bonds?
