Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Transferring Saudi riyals outside the Kingdom, and the money changer takes ten riyals for every thousand riyals, and he delivers them in the country to which they are being transferred. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If the money is transferred to the other country itself, the riyals you gave him are transferred as riyals and delivered to their owner in his country, and he takes a fee for carrying them and delivering them, there is no harm. This is a hire fee. This is a hire fee, not currency exchange, and he carries them himself and delivers them. But if he takes the riyals from you here and gives you their equivalent in another country, this is deferred currency exchange, and it is not permissible for it to be deferred.
