Summary of the Fatwa:
The ruling on Documentary Credits was previously detailed in Fatwa no. 67801. If the documentary credit is of the permissible type, there is no objection to a usurious bank acting as an agent, if an Islamic bank is not available and there is a need to deal with the usurious bank.
