Purchasing the Udhiyya animal using a credit card
Question
I would like to know can one make Udhiyya using a credit card to purchase the sheep?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to purchase the animal of Qurbānī using a credit card.[1] However, one must ensure that he has a credit balance in his account or he makes timeous payments to avoid paying interest.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
