Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Awad from Ta'if. Yes, go ahead, Awad. From Riyadh, from Riyadh. Go ahead, go ahead. How are you? I want to speak to the Shaykh, may Allah keep you well. Go ahead, may Allah preserve you. I have land that was granted to me. I don't have it; my brother has land that was granted to him, and I bought it from him with the documents for it. I don't know if there is anything wrong with it or not?
Answer:
My brother, it is not permissible for you to sell it until you have taken possession of it. If you take possession of the land and know its boundaries and its area, then it is permissible for you to sell it. But if you sell it while you have not taken possession of it, that is selling what is unknown. Yes.
