Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have visas that I obtain by order. Am I allowed to sell them? And is the amount I receive from those who buy those visas lawful or forbidden?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell visas. Visas are granted only to those who need to bring in workers or servants for their own needs. As for trading in them, that is not permissible, and the regulations prohibit it. In this, there is disobedience to the one in authority, because they do not issue these visas except to those who need to bring in workers. As for taking them while lying about not needing workers, and taking them only to sell them, that is not permissible, and their price is forbidden. Yes.
