Question:

Brother, 1- is it permissible to rent space to bank for AMT machine in india. 2- to cover baldness can we use hair weaving or wig or hairtation. regards,
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

With regard to your first question, it is not permissible to rent a place for a bank that deals with Riba (interest and/or usury) so that it can put an ATM machine in it because this device is a means for the bank to facilitate its Riba-based transactions. Therefore, renting the place for the bank is considered as helping the bank in sin.

As regards the second question about wearing a wig or artificial hair for a man; this is not permissible because it is joining the hair which the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) forbade.

Allaah Knows best.
