The question

Is it permissible to obtain a loan from the Banque Saudi Fransi using the Tawarruq system—purchasing a metal and selling it to the client—given that the bank has stated the system conforms to Islamic Sharia, while one of the شيخs indicated an issue with the buying and selling process?

The answer

The question has been answered previously. It can be added here that a question was posed to Sheikh Abdullah Al-Manea concerning the ruling on Tawarruq (monetization) with the Banque Saudi Fransi, where the bank sells metals it owns in Bahrain and is then appointed as an agent to sell them to a third party. Sheikh Al-Manea replied that this sale is impermissible because the buyer is not aware of the metals (their type, kind, description, and visibility), and because he is not certain of the bank's ownership of them, which makes the sale fictitious.
