Is dealing with traveler's checks with banks a form of cooperation in sin?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If it is necessary, meaning if one is to obtain these checks, does he go to the bank and deal with the bank to take these checks and so on? In that case, it is not a form of cooperation in sin or aggression.
The Shaykh : This is like any transfer sent to you from any country, yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, from any money changer, one can buy them.
The Shaykh : How? From any?
The questioner : From any money changer, one can buy them; it is not a condition from the bank.
The questioner : He mentioned, our brother, that even from the grocery store.
The questioner : No, you do not buy them. You go and buy checks from the money changer; it is not a condition from the bank.
The Shaykh : But at the same price.
The questioner : The same price, our Shaykh. The price of the dollar, our Shaykh, at that time, meaning.
The questioner : At that time, before the stock exchange closes, they give you the price of the dollar. One hundred thousand dollars, they give you exactly one hundred thousand.
The Shaykh : That is enough, bring others. Al-'Uwayshah: Regarding her, the matter, our Shaykh, regarding the transfer, there may be a necessity that there is no way but this way, sending from one country to another. But regarding this traveler's check, there may be ways. If there are no ways, then it does not support these banks.
The Shaykh : For example. Al-'Uwayshah: How?
The Shaykh : For example. Al-'Uwayshah: Meaning, he carries this money in his pocket, for example, meaning he carries this money in his pocket.
The Shaykh : No, this is not a way, as I said. Of the ways, this is not normal. It is not easy to carry it from any country to any country. Meaning, the cooperation here is not cooperation in the evil for which the curse came in the well-known hadith, yes.
