Ruling on purchasing Qurbani animal using credit card

Ruling on purchasing Qurbani animal using credit card

What do scholars say about purchasing sacrificial (qurbqni) animals if they are purchased through a credit card (credit facility)? Is this method correct as per Shariah?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

There is no religious restriction in carrying out transactions using the aforementioned card, rather it is permissible and correct, and the same ruling applies to the sacrificial animal. However, it is necessary to avoid acquiring the card in a way that allows for interest based transactions. And Allah knows best!
