The financial transaction known as organized or banking Tawarruq has been deemed impermissible by the majority of contemporary scholars. A resolution prohibiting it was issued by the International Islamic Fiqh Academy due to the fact that the bank carries out a standardized process in which a commodity is arranged to be sold at a deferred price to the mustawriq (the one seeking Tawarruq), on the condition that the bank undertakes, on his behalf, to sell it at a spot price. Therefore, it is not permissible to engage in this transaction.
