Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person pays the passport fees.

The Shaykh:
If a person.

The questioner:
If a person pays the passport fees from his own account for another person and takes a fee for this work, what is the ruling on that fee? And is it considered riba (usury or interest)?

The Shaykh:
This is not a fee; this is riba. This is a loan where he paid what was required on his behalf and then took it back with an increase. This is explicit riba.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I found a prayer bead necklace at one of my relatives' houses that is more than two meters long.

The Shaykh:
If you took the money from him. If you took the money from him and went and paid it and took the receipt in her name. It is his money. But if you pay from your own money and take an increase, this is riba. Yes.
