The criterion for currency exchange between two countries

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the criterion for exchanging currency from the country I live in and earn my livelihood in to another country? For example, I exchange currency from Saudi riyals to Yemeni riyals.

Answer:
Yes. The safest course for the conscience and the most cautious is to buy the Yemeni riyals while you are in Saudi Arabia and send them to Yemen. This is currency exchange, and currency exchange requires a hand-to-hand exchange. You pay the Saudi riyals and receive the Yemeni riyals in exchange in the meeting place, the exchange office, and then you send the Yemeni riyals to Yemen. This is the safest and the most cautious for the conscience.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
