Summary
An e-wallet is an electronic device or online service that lets a person carry out electronic transactions using a computer or smartphone. Users and merchants transfer money to each other by means of a code and scanning. Examples include GrabPay, Touch n Go, Boost and Google Pay. Using an e-wallet is permissible because it is a virtual form of payment that eases people's commercial dealings.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum penggunaan e-wallet adalah diharuskan kerana ia adalah bentuk pembayaran secara maya yang memudahkan urusan muamalat manusia.
