Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that the seller must be the owner of the item being sold, and that the price must be owned by the buyer.
The Shaykh:
The owner of the item being sold, or authorized to sell it by agency or guardianship. Yes.
The questioner:
And that the price must be owned by the buyer. He asks: If he bought with money that was stolen, is the sale valid?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not valid. This is forbidden money; the stolen money is forbidden. This sale is not permissible. Yes.
