The ruling on a buyer leaving some of his money with the seller to collect it later because the seller has no change
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I buy an item from a shop owner for twenty riyals, and I have no change, and I have fifty riyals with me, so I give him the fifty, and thirty riyals remain with him, is it permissible for me to leave it there to take it later? This is if it is in the category of currency exchange.
Answer:
Then it is not permissible. However, if you leave the remainder as a deposit, as a deposit with him, perhaps there is no harm in that. If you leave it as currency exchange but you did not take possession of the whole amount, this is not permissible. But if you leave the remainder as a deposit in his debt, that is a different matter.
