Is it permissible to purchase virtual years of service?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to buy what has been mentioned due to its inclusion of (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.
