The Sale of Old, Abolished Currency
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on selling old paper currency that has become widespread in these days?
The Shaykh:
What do you mean by this? Do you mean old coins that are artifacts? He buys them, and they are abolished; dealing in them is abolished. They are old coins that are no longer used, they are abolished, and he buys them because they are artifacts. This is a waste of time and a squandering of wealth without any benefit.
