Question
What is the status of a voucher for which one pays? The voucher is used to purchase goods at the shop for more than the price of the voucher. Will it be permissible to sell a voucher for more than the price paid?
Answer
The voucher is not a material commodity. The one who buys a voucher is actually paying in advance for the goods he will be purchasing. It is haraam to sell a voucher for more or less than the actual amount. It will be riba.
