The ruling on communication subscriptions that expire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: This questioner says: I am a new caller.
Answer:
I hold that it is not permissible, because they impose a condition on you that if time passes and there is a balance remaining, or if you do not use it, it is wasted on you and your money is lost. What is it that wastes your money? You bought them for use. Use them. When they expire without a set time for their use, you bought them and they became your property. Use them until they expire, in whatever period. Yes, you are spending your money on them. Why should it be wasted and go away? Yes.
