What is the ruling on dealing with prepaid "CashU" cards, which require purchasing a foundation card for 55 riyals to open an account, and purchasing cards at different prices to top up the account, knowing that the card's validity period is one year, and after that, a renewal fee of 10 dollars is required to benefit from the remaining balance?
It is permissible to purchase cards and use them for transactions, provided that they are not used to buy items that require immediate exchange (qabḍ), such as different currencies, gold, and silver. As for the card's expiration without being used, this does not make it impermissible, as it is considered a negligence on the part of its owner.
