Transaction on Credit

Question

Is it permissible to conduct a transaction on credit with a credit card? This refers to a bank credit card.

Answer

Shalom!
In principle, there is an issue of interest in such a transaction, but credit card companies in Israel have a good “heiter iska” (that turns a loan into an investment, thus allowing to charge interest on it).
