Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 19/14/D=01/1437) It is unlawful to sell the prevalent coins with rupees with difference in quantity. It is interest about which the Holy Quran and Hadith sternly warn. Hence it is not lawful for any Muslim to deal as per the method mentioned in the question. بيع فلوس معينة بالتفاضل كبيع الفلس الواحد بعينه بالفلسين الآخرين ..... فقال محمد لا يجوز ...... والذي يظهر لهذا العبد الضعيف أن قول محمد أولى بالأخذ في زماننا.
