The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person residing in Riyadh lent money to a partner in Egypt. He transferred the money to him in riyals, and it reached him in his country in dollars. His question is: How is this money to be returned when the time comes? Is it to be returned in riyals or in dollars?
The Shaykh:
Return it in what he paid him, the riyals. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
He buys him riyals. And if he is satisfied with taking something else in exchange, there is no harm. In terms of the debt, there is no harm. Yes.
