Buying Foreign Currency From Local Client
When a client approaches the bank for a Murabaha deal, the bank purchases the goods from a dealer abroad and after taking possession, sells them to the client. In the event that the client offers to sell the bank foreign currency at an appropriate rate to make payment to the supplier of goods, will it be permissible for the bank to engage in such a transaction?
As long as the contract for the sale of goods remains separate from and independent of the contract for the purchase of currency from the client, such a transaction is permissible.
