Sending money to our country in riyals and receiving it there in another currency: what is the ruling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I sometimes send money to my mother, and she is in my country,

The Shaykh:
My country or her country?

The questioner:
In a country. She was in my country.

The Shaykh:
What is written in your text?

The questioner:
In my country. In my country.

The Shaykh:
My country. Yes.

The questioner:
Where I give them riyals, and they receive it there in the currency of our country?

The Shaykh:
This is currency exchange. This is currency exchange, and it is not permissible except with immediate exchange. Exchanging currency for currency of a different type: exchanging currency for currency of a different type, no preference is allowed, but immediate exchange in the same place is required. One cannot sell something here, exchange something here, and not receive the consideration until there. This is not valid. However, he can buy the currency he wants to send, buy it, and send it as is, send it as is to his mother. Yes.
