Use of credit cards : getting a loan from credit cards that give grace period
Fatawa Question
Aslamoalaeekum, I live in London and I am writing to humbly request your help on this issue. I hope you will know better on what Islam says on this one. I urgently need some money and I cannot find anyone to lend me money. I have some credit cards that give me some interest free period for shopping. I have a friend who has offered to help me in a way. He has a credit card machine in his shop and he is ready to swipe my card as if I am shopping in his shop. And then he will give me the cash back. The problem is that he is charged 2.5 % on all card transactions and he expects me to reimburse that amount to him. I am not sure if I will be acting within the limits of Islam if I reimburse him that amount. Please advise me on this issue if you can. Thanks a lot in advance and may God bless you. Allah Hafiz
