Hi houssam55
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple requires a payment method for the first time you use the App Store, even for free apps.
So if you have downloaded free or purchased apps before:
you may be able to just update free apps. (For free apps use the "Get" button under apps in the App Store)
Unless your account has been disabled:
If a message says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support
Else: You may want to check if you can use another method to purchase apps you want:
Eg: in some countries Apple may accept Apple / iTunes / App Store Gift Cards:
See what payment methods you can use in your country or region:
Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID – Apple Support
How to: Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support
If needed, and you have no active subscriptions, or unpaid purchases:
How to: Remove a payment method from your Apple ID – Apple Support
All the best :-)
