The ruling on paying traffic violations in exchange for a fee
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on some people paying the traffic violations and administrative fees of others, and taking a fee for doing so, especially when the banks are strict?
Answer:
If he takes the money you have with you and pays it, serving you and taking the fee, then there is nothing wrong with that. But if he pays from his own funds, pays from his own money, or takes it from you with an increase, this is riba (usury or interest). Is that not permissible?
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you.
