Purchasing the packages issued by the telecommunications company
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
All praise is due to Allah alone, and peace and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no prophet. After that:
The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta has reviewed what was sent to His Eminence the Grand Mufti from the questioner: the General Manager of the General Administration for Awareness and Guidance under the General Presidency for the Propagation of Good and the Prohibition of Evil, which was referred to the Committee by the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars with number (93 S) and date 5/11/1422 AH. The questioner asked a question, the text of which is as follows: What was published in the local newspapers regarding the “packages issued by the Saudi Communications Company,” which are a set of limited call minutes for a specific period, offered at a discounted price, with the cost paid monthly along with the monthly subscription fee (two months in advance), without changing the SIM card. If they are not used within this time, they expire, and the subscriber has no right to claim the amount he paid. As attached to your Excellency in the published advertisement.
After studying the inquiry, the Committee responded that no apparent legal impediment prevents this, as it is a permissible lease.
