The answer

It is permissible to engage in transactions with disbelievers, even if they are belligerents, through buying and selling, with the exception of anything that aids them in war, such as selling weapons to them. Muslim merchants are permitted to enter the abode of war with security, and belligerent merchants are permitted to enter the abode of Islam with security. However, it is not permissible to supply belligerents with anything that strengthens them, such as weapons or war machinery, nor is it permissible to trade in things prohibited by Islamic law. The Malikis made an exception, prohibiting export from Muslim lands and prohibiting Muslim merchants from trading in the abode of war if its laws apply to merchants. Some evidence indicates the permissibility of exporting food to enemies even in a state of war. As for the Payoneer card, it is a prepaid card, and it is permissible to transact with it because there is nothing to prevent dealing with disbelievers.
