Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man traded in currency.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then he learned that it is forbidden, and the time he asked was when the price of the currency he had bought had dropped. Is it permissible for him to wait until it rises, sell it, and be done with it, meaning return his capital?
The Shaykh : Wait for what?
The questioner : I mean, the rise of the currency he has.
The Shaykh : Wait until it rises?
The questioner : It rises.
The Shaykh : And who knows? Perhaps it has fallen.
The questioner : Allah knows best. He expects, for example, that it will rise after a period.
The Shaykh : Trading is not permissible in any case.
The questioner : Yes, it is not permissible, but what about this situation he is in now?
The Shaykh : I know, may Allah guide you. Did you not know the answer? Who knows that it will rise? Say he does not know.
The questioner : He did not know.
The Shaykh : So, he keeps the currency with him if it is not the currency of the country, and if it is the currency of the country, he holds onto it.
The questioner : ... As for if he keeps it with him, and it is not the currency of the country, until it rises, meaning.
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible, it is not permissible. This is trading, rather, it is gambling.
The questioner : So what does he do with it, O Shaykh? No problem.
The Shaykh : He sells it immediately if it is not the currency of the country, and he does not return to such a thing.
The questioner: Ah.
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Is it permissible.
Another questioner : ... the one we spoke about ... last Friday.
The Shaykh : Now, my brother, someone spoke to me. I said, I cannot give you an appointment when you request me, and I am outside the mosque. They called me by phone at night, at a time between eight and six, between six and eight.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And at that time, I can give you an appointment.
The questioner : But ... it has been about a week, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you. My long time is shorter than your short time.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And therefore, they called at night.
The Shaykh : Yes.
