Is it permissible to purchase virtual years of service?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to buy what has been mentioned due to its inclusion of gharar (excessive uncertainty), deception, and consuming people's wealth unjustly, as Allah Almighty says: (And do not consume your properties among yourselves unjustly). Jurists have considered this type of transaction forbidden due to its inclusion of gharar, which is any sale that contains ignorance, involves risk, or gambling. The prohibition of gharar transactions is considered one of the fundamental principles of Islamic law.
