Question:
He says: I borrowed a sum from my brother in the local currency. Is it permissible for me to repay him in a foreign currency?
Answer:
Yes, without any increase. This is called currency exchange (sarf). If you owe a person money in a specific currency and then repay him in another currency, this is called currency exchange. It is permissible on one condition, which is the exchange of possession in the meeting.
