Uh...hello person! Do you think we're barbarians or something?! Of course people (including foreigners) use Master/Visa Card here. You know...with those tiny machines at the cash registers where you have to swipe your card and punch in some numbers!!!!! Go to www.samba.com.

Not sure... somebody correct me if I am wrong, but actually the matter of "credit" or its equivalent for Islamic countries is a hot topic these days. The reason is that -- as I understand it -- charging money to borrow money is not allowed in such places. I believe it is not so much prohibited in the Qu'ran as it the prohibition has been part of the body of sharia (Quranic law) built on top of it. What banks are doing is to essentially have users pay a "fee" to deposit money into their own accounts, then letting them "withdraw" it for free. This prevents the actual charging of interest, and since it's their own money anyway it's functionally equivalent to a secured card, which presents no risk to the bank.
Or something like that.

at first canine are no longer haram, they are "despised" is the appropriate translation. No angels enter a house wherein there's a canine or pictures of human, in accordance to the prophets hadith. beef isn't available in any respect in Saudi different than of course the writer 1st baron verulam flown in for the U. S. trops stationed there for their morning breakfast. What a number of my acquaintances used to do become fly to Dubai, get some ham, chilly cuts, have the label revealed off as turkey or beef salami and throw it of their suitcase and convey it back to Saudi. different thoughts available now in Saudi is ostrich. the beef writer 1st baron verulam is stable.
