Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I borrowed one hundred riyals from my friend as a loan. After we returned to our country, is it permissible for me to give him the currency of my country?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. It is permissible for you to give him the currency you took from him, or to give him its equivalent in other currencies. There is nothing wrong with it, and this is called currency exchange.
