Withdrawal via (Mastercard)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 94: I went to a European country suddenly and did not withdraw dollars, and I had only (Mastercard) with me. I was forced to withdraw cash to pay the bill for a restaurant I entered. I have heard that this is a type of usurious transaction, so what is my obligation?
A 94: If your account is covered, such that no usury (riba) occurs thereby, it is permissible for you to withdraw via (Mastercard). However, if you withdraw via (Mastercard) and your account will not cover this amount, it is not permissible for you to withdraw via this card; because in this case, an increase is calculated against you, which is usury (riba).
