The Ruling on Buying Gold with a Bank Card
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: In some gold shops, there are bank card machines. So, the customer buys the gold, and the value of the gold is immediately transferred from his account to the shop owner's account, and this appears on the screen in front of him. Does this count as *ta'awud* (barter)?
Answer:
I have [an opinion], but the scholars have issued a ruling that this counts as *ta'awud* (barter), if it is for *ghina'* (singing), meaning, or if it is transferred from the buyer to the seller. By means of the *shakir* (thanker), they consider this *maqlub* (inverted). Allah knows best. I have a *mal ghallab* (dominant wealth), but I say that the need for it arose. Allah knows best. Shall I tell you what I heard them calling this wealth?
