Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, last night that it is not permissible to purchase gold via a credit card. His question is: What about the rest of the goods, such as shoes, may Allah honor you, and other goods? Is it permissible to purchase them via this card?
Answer:
Goods that require immediate exchange in the transaction, such as selling currency for currency, dirhams for dirhams, or gold for gold, require immediate exchange. As for purchasing other goods, such as fabrics, fruits, and grains, where immediate exchange in the meeting is not required, yes.
