The answer

The purchase of debts at an accelerated price less than their value is considered one of the prohibited usurious contracts, as it involves riba al-fadl (usury of surplus), riba an-nasia (usury of delay), and (uncertainty/risk). This has been decreed by the Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas, the Islamic Fiqh Academy, and the Council of the Islamic Fiqh Assembly. Accordingly, it is forbidden to work in companies and institutions that engage in the purchase of these debts.
