Buying and Selling Banknotes (book)

Line 71:

In the fifth chapter, the author divides the opponents of the sale of banknotes into three groups:

=== Group One: The Sale of Banknotes Does Not Correspond to a Customary Sale ===

A group of jurists do not consider the buying and selling of banknotes to be an instance of sale from a customary perspective. The author cites statements from [[~~Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr|~~Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Sadr]], [[Naser Makarem Shirazi]], and [[Morteza Motahhari]] to explain this argument. According to Shahid al-Sadr, in all cases where the property is fungible (mithli)—even if that property is of the counted type—a credit exchange of it with an addition is not permissible and is considered an instance of forbidden interest-bearing loan. Yousefi, while endorsing Shahid al-Sadr's view, postpones his own arguments to later chapters (pp. 118-120).

[[Naser Makarem Shirazi|Makarem Shirazi]] believes that there is no serious intent regarding the sale of banknotes because, in the custom of transactions, banknotes always function as the price (thaman), not the object of sale (muthman). Yousefi rejects this argument, considering the pillars of sale to be present in the sale of banknotes and finding serious intent for such a transaction to be possible (pp. 120-122). Morteza Motahhari has also considered the sale of banknotes to be non-customary by stating that in the exchange of two items of the same kind, a sale is not realized. However, the author believes that, according to narrations, the sale of two items of the same kind is reprehensible, not forbidden (pp. 122-124).
