The ruling on transferring money via the bank with a delay in receipt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to transfer money to our relatives outside the Kingdom via the bank, knowing that they do not receive it at the same time, but it may be delayed by a day or two?
Answer:
This is a problem with these transfers; this is a problem, and it has not been resolved to this day. However, the safe course is that you give this money to someone who travels to your country to spend it there and buy his needs, and when he goes there, he pays your relatives there. This is called the suftajah.
