What is the ruling on using a credit card, which is necessary to open a seller account on Amazon, given that prepaid cards are not accepted, and what is the ruling on opening an electronic bank account (such as Payoneer) with commissions on transfers?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in opening an account on a website that does not accept prepaid Visa cards for permissible dealings. Not all unsecured credit cards are forbidden; it is permissible to use them if they are not conditioned upon an increase in usurious interest. There is no harm in opening an account with Payoneer bank to transfer funds for a commission, in order to benefit from its permissible services.
