Mutual Loans
If a bank requires dollars for one month, is it permissible to request another bank to grant this amount as an overdraft on its account there, without a fee but in exchange for something of equal value, such as dirhams, on the basis that when the dollars are returned the dirhams will be returned as well?
It is permissible to exchange these kinds of interest-free loans provided no fee, payment, or penalty is attached to them.
