Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to borrow gold or silver from a person and return it in cash? Is it permissible for me to borrow gold or silver from a person and return it in cash.
The Shaykh:
No, it becomes a sale. If he takes it and drinks it, and takes it, we say this is a sale. It has become, this means it has become, and there is no, but he takes it and takes it, gold and takes it, returns to him gold and a dirham, nothing is deducted from him in the evening of the money. If he returns it in the evening of the money, it becomes a deferred deduction. You write the ability or for her, the place did not approach the salam in itself.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with truth, what is the difference between a loan and a borrowing? And does the loan mentioned in the hadith have a reward?
The Shaykh:
A borrowing is not the counterpart. The borrowing, he does not own it, he uses it and returns it as is, whereas the loan, he owns it when he takes it and returns its body. This is correct. Yes, indeed. Yes.
The questioner:
A person bought a car through riba (usury or interest), so is it permissible for me to buy it from him?
The Shaykh:
For example, through the path of the haram, it is not permissible for you to buy it. Yes.
