    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1938/1804=D/1429)

     

    You should attach the pervious fatwa.

    It will be called interest if the Shariah definition of interest is applicable to it, otherwise not, whether it is called interest or not by the people. The ruling of a matter is governed by its definition.
