Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about the meaning of two sales in one sale, and what is an example of it?
Answer:
The two sales in one sale that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited has several forms, the most severe of which is the issue of 'inah, which is when a person sells a commodity to someone for a deferred price, and then buys it back from him for a spot price that is less than the deferred price. This is a ruse to reach riba (usury or interest), because he sold the deferred price for a spot price, money for money, deferred money for present money, and the commodity was made a ruse, a mere ruse under the name of sale. This is riba, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited the sale of 'inah because it is a ruse to reach riba, even if it takes the form of a sale. Yes.
