Question
What is the prevalent opinion among the hanafi jurists about the paper money? Is it halal or haram?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Paper money is regarded as money in common practice and understanding. Common practice and understanding is called urf in Shariah. Urf is strongly considered in Shariah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
