The ruling on selling a car before the transfer of ownership or the full payment of the price

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What do some car dealers do today in car showrooms? They buy a car, for example, and then, before the transfer of ownership—that is, before paying the price or before paying the full price—another person comes to him and says, “Make a profit of five hundred riyals for me and sell me the car.” Is their action permissible? Repeat the question? He says, may Allah keep you safe: What do some car dealers do today in car showrooms? They buy a car, for example, and then, before the transfer of ownership or before paying the full price, another person comes to him and says, “Make a profit of five hundred riyals for me, and the car is yours.”

Answer:
There is a difference. Paying the full price is what is required of him to pay. Even if he has not paid anything of it, it is permissible for him to sell it if his ownership of it has been established. It is permissible to sell it even if he has not paid its price or has not paid the full price. However, selling it before the procedures for acquiring ownership are completed is not permissible, because his ownership of it has not been established. One of the procedures that are taken to transfer the ownership of a car from one person to another must be completed before he is allowed to sell it. Yes.
