Question:
A questioner says: Mobile phone packages are sold for a fixed amount for a one-month period, and they include unlimited use of calls. After the month ends, the package expires whether you used it or not. Is it permissible to purchase them?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. There is a benefit in them; you buy them for the benefit they provide. You use them as long as they are valid for use, just as you rent a house and live in it, or a shop. Yes, it is a benefit. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
