If I want to repay a debt that has come due to a person in another country using a different currency, is that permissible?
Answer:
This falls under currency exchange, but the exchange must take place in the same session. If it is in another country, there is no session there. You can transfer the amount to him; the debt in your possession is transferred to him as a transfer. Yes.
