What is the ruling on trading in currency?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I have a brother, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. I may have mentioned him to Shaykh Ali. He trades in currency, but he is not convinced. I want you to explain the prohibition to him in your own way so that he can hear it?
The Shaykh : Is he committed?
The questioner : He claims to be committed. His beard is not like the beard of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he prays Fajr in the mosque, he prays the five daily prayers, and his wife also gives lessons in the mosque.
The Shaykh : I tell you, for the sake of your heart, you sit with him one night, and with you Abu Fars, that is good.
The questioner : I am ready, may Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Is he committed?
The questioner : He claims to be committed. His beard is not like the beard of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he prays Fajr in the mosque, he prays the five daily prayers, and his wife also gives lessons in the mosque.
The Shaykh : I tell you, for the sake of your heart, you sit with him one night, and with you Abu Fars, that is good.
The questioner : I am ready, may Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
