Is it permissible for me to give a resident here Saudi riyals on the condition that he gives his agent in Sudan pounds?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I want to send a sum of money to my mother in my country. Is it permissible for me to give a person residing here Saudi riyals, on the condition that he gives his agent in Sudan pounds, and there is a difference of a few hours? If it is not permissible, what is the Sharia-compliant method?

Answer:
By Allah, this is an important and common issue among workers nowadays. They say, what do we do? We give money here and it is spent there, but currency exchange requires the exchange to take place in the same session. The exchange did not take place in the same session, and we are forced to do this. By Allah, it is a problem that remains a problem, and no solution has been found for it yet. However, if you buy Sudanese pounds or other currency in our country and then send it with a trustworthy person to deliver it, that would take you out of the prohibited area. But if you give him dirhams to be spent for him there, this contradicts the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding hand-to-hand exchange, exactly as he said. It contradicts the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. However, there may be ways out due to dire necessity, and Allah knows best. You need to be careful about this matter. Yes.
