Taking an increase on currency exchange in exchange for effort
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I said: O Shaykh, may Allah inform you, those who sell ten for nine argue that they begin by bringing this coin, so is this increase that was decided upon the ground?
Answer:
Riba is not permissible, and he said this is in exchange for my effort. Riba does not become permissible in exchange for effort; it is forbidden. This is not permissible. The one who exchanges currency must adhere to the rules of the Shari'ah. If he wants to work, he should go to another profession other than this one. Yes.
