Dr. Mohammad Rawas Qal'aji, who is familiar with economics, jurisprudence, and Islamic law and is a professor at the Faculty of Sharia, University of Kuwait, examines the various dimensions of transactions with credit cards from the perspective of contemporary jurists and legal scholars, presenting his view argumentatively in each field.
can, through it, receive goods, services, and cash from someone who accepts transactions with the credit card, so that he (the issuer) is entitled to receive the price of goods, services, and the cash equivalent from the card issuer, and the cardholder pays the issuer at a future time.
The Sharia Committee of Kuwait Finance House, Al Baraka Association, Abd al-Sattar Abu Ghudda, Hassan al-Jawahiri hold this view and argue that the aforementioned fees are a service charge for the service provided by the credit card issuer so that the owner of the funds (the cardholder) can access their money whenever they wish.
The Sharia Committee of Kuwait Finance House and Hassan al-Jawahiri consider receiving such fees to be permissible and argue that these fees are an agency (wakala) fee for payment, meaning that the cardholder has appointed the card issuer as their agent to pay the price of the goods purchased via the card on their behalf, and the card issuer receives a fee for this agency, and receiving a fee in an agency contract is permissible.
This benefit that the card issuer receives from the merchant is actually the commission for receiving the price of the goods from the cardholder and paying it to the merchant.
