A Visa card revealed to be riba-based after receiving it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He went to the bank to get a Visa card, and the employee told him it was approved by the Sharia board. He said: After I received the card, it became clear to me that it was not approved and that it is a riba card. I do not have the amount to return it to the bank, which is fifteen thousand riyals. What should I do?
Answer:
You made a mistake. You should have asked before you understood. People say it is approved, they say this, you verified that it is approved by the scholars, and you asked the scholars, the pretentious ones and the ignorant. You asked the correct scholars, the scholars of fatwa, before you entered the place. But now that you are entangled in it, you have to find a way out of it by any means. Find a way out of it, and do not work with it, and do not use it.
And if you lose what you lose, praise be to Allah, Allah will replace it. If you lose what you lose, do not use it, and hold the view that it is riba and that it is forbidden. Do not use it. Even if you suffer a loss, complain to Allah. You are the one who cuts it off. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
