Selling Interest-Based Credit Card
May I sell or assist another in buying a credit card that charges interest?
It impermissible to assist in the purchase of a credit card that charges an interest rate, and offensive to assist in the purchase of a credit card that only charges an interest rate after a reasonable grace period; in the former case one directly assists in the sin because the interest rate is a direct consequence of owning the credit card, whereas in the latter case one indirectly assists in the sin because the onus of prompt repayment is on the credit card owner.
