Question
Many days ago, I sent a question to you, which is not answered until
now. Please tell me if u received it or not, because I am waiting now
for a month for it, before I tried it in German, but nothing happened.
Here is the question again. I discovered, that if I sell something by
ebay, thereis on my ebay article side directly under 'payment options'
an advertisement for interest (advertisement of a bank for loans with
interest). Since ALLAH hates interest and has forbidden it, my
questionis the following. In this case, is it allowed anyhow to sell
by ebay? Because of uploading my articles, I allure customers on my
ebay account. So I call the customers attention to this advertisement
too. Or am I innocent, becauseebay turns it up against my will? Asking
ebay to remove this advertising was of no avail. This question is a
further attempt to get an answer. I have been trying, about four
times, to get an answer from islamweb German department for this
question since many month, but till today without any response. SoI
asked somebody to translate my question in English. I do not want to
be impatient or ill mannered, but I hope foran early answer, because
this is an urgent questionand I do not want to act without being sure
if it ishalal or not.
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,
is His Slave and Messenger.
As long as the stated advertisement of the website is not related to
you or to your advertisement and it is just put on the page of the
website, then there isno blame on you becauseof it; because your
relationship with the website is lawful, then there is no blame on you
regarding advertising on it.
Allaah Knows best.
