“This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about spending dirhams with impurities. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the amount of silver is overwhelming in it, it is not unlawful. 5 ”
لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ الدَّرَاهِمَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا النُّحَاسَ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ ثُمَّ يَبِيعُهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ذَلِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ.
“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who worked with dirhams that had copper in them or such other things and he then sold them. He (the Imam) said, ‘If that is what is among people then it is not harmful.’”
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ سِجِسْتَانَ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الدَّرَاهِمِ الْمَحْمُولِ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا كَانَ جَوَازاً لِمِصْرٍ.
‘It is not harmful if they currently are in circulation in a city.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- عَنِ الدَّرَاهِمِ الْمَحْمُولِ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا أَنْفَقْتَ مَا يَجُوزُ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ أَنْفَقْتَ مَا لَا يَجُوزُ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ فَلَا.
“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about dirhams with impurities. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you spend what is permissible to spend among people in a city, it is not unlawful; but if you spend what is not lawful to spend among the people of a land, then it is not permissible.’”
