What is the ruling on terminating a commodity purchase transaction before its arrival, on the pretext of stopping the usurious interest that the financial intermediary is likely to be investing the money in?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to buy and sell online as long as the act is free from usury and other -prohibited elements. There is no objection to conducting the transaction even if the intermediary invests funds in usurious ways, as there is no obligation to terminate the transaction merely for that reason.
