The Ruling on International Currency Exchange Cards
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: Some banks issue currency exchange cards. The customer loads the card with money and uses it to make purchases from this balance outside the Kingdom. The question is: If the Shaykh directs that when these cards are used abroad, the currency is exchanged and converted, what is the ruling on such cards?
The Shaykh:
With the cards, what happens?
The questioner:
They are the total expenses.
The Shaykh:
How so?
The questioner:
The amount is loaded onto it, and the currency is converted outside the Kingdom.
The Shaykh:
It is spent, meaning.
The questioner:
Yes, indeed, it arrives.
The Shaykh:
The advance is not a problem. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if it has a counterpart in the other.
The Shaykh:
Exchange, currency for currency, there is no problem, yes.
