    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1150/1150=M/1429)

     

    As per the Shariah, it is unlawful to do such a work in bank where one has to write, maintain record of interest-based transaction or bear witness to it. The Hadith warns those who involve in interest-based transactions. If you need money to get higher education you should achieve it through lawful resources.
