It is clear from the description of the Post Office Pensioner Savings Certificate that it is a purely interest-bearing scheme. Where the depositor is given a certain amount of profit at maturity. Needless to say, this is the forbidden usury-riban nasiah of the Qur'an. It is this interest that is declared in the Qur'an, (translation) ‘O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if you are indeed believers. If you do not give up, then be ready to fight Allah and His Messenger. '(Surat al-Baqara: 26,269) See also: Surah Al-Imran: 130; Ahkamul Quran, Zafar Ahmad Thanvi 1/8, 60; Qurtubi 3/226 in Tafsir; Ahkamul Quran, Jassas 1/48 Therefore, it is essential to refrain from depositing the pension in question. Below are a few more quotes. Jame Tirmizi 1/229; Sunan Kubra Bayhaqi 5/265; Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10/846; Fatawa Khaniya 2/280; Badayous Sanaye 6/518; Raddul Muhtar 5/18 2811411985
