The ruling on purchasing a mobile phone SIM card that is cancelled if not used within a specified period

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on this transaction? A subscriber purchases a mobile phone SIM card for two hundred riyals, on the condition that he uses it within two months. If he does not use it within two and a half months, the SIM card is cancelled, and he must purchase another. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
This is a gamble and consuming wealth unjustly. It is obligatory for him to use the SIM card until it expires because it is his property. How can it be cancelled after one or two months pass without him using it? This is not permissible. This restriction is not permissible. He buys the SIM card and uses it until it runs out because it is his money and his property, and he has paid its value. What makes him lose the remaining value?
This is consuming wealth unjustly. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: This involves a gamble and also a wager. It is a wager on using it within a specific time. If he does not use it, it is lost to him. This is not permissible. Yes.
