The way our transaction works is as follows: The kafir wants to purchase a product, and we agree to each contribute half of the payment for the product. I send my portion of the money to his checking account, which he uses to complete the purchase. The product itself is halal, and the way we conduct the transaction is also in line with halal practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">However, I am aware that his checking account accumulates interest (riba), though I have no direct access to or involvement with his account. The profit from this business is entirely given to me by the kafir, and I have no knowledge of how he manages his bank account beyond this detail. Additionally, the portion of money he uses for the transaction is not derived from interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
