The usage of Credit Card is not permitted even if the card holder administrates to pay all the credit in stipulated time as the relevant agreement always remains interest based.Sadiq Credit Card of Standard chartered bank which appears as the solely perfect Islamic credit card in Pakistan has not won the favour of muslim scholars.It also engaged with some kind of interest.
