Paying with a bank card in the markets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There are some markets where they use bank cards instead of cash from the buyer. Is this permissible in transactions?
Answer:
I mean, by that, that if he sells to you, he accepts the card by deducting from your balance to the account of the shop from which you bought. There is no harm in that if this is the meaning: that they transfer the amount you bought to the account of the shop, and it is recorded in the shop's account. Then there is no harm in it, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
