Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I transfer money from one area to another at the same time and in the same currency, but I take a fee for the transfer. Is my work permissible?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a difficult issue regarding the transfer of debt. It is moving a debt from one person's liability to another's, and no fee is taken for it. Yes. But they say that we take it for what is done in delivering it to its owners. They have a book and they have tools, so they take it in exchange for the work they do for the transfer. Yes.
