Is a check considered possession?
According to a group of scholars, it is considered possession; because with it, one can obtain what is due at any bank. However, if it is easy for him to have full possession, there is no harm in giving him dirhams. As for the check, it is possession in reality; because wherever he goes, he can obtain what is due with it.
