The questioner:
The Shaykh said: A man told us that he gave a farmer five hundred sacks of wheat on the condition that the farmer would return these five hundred sacks of wheat when the barley is harvested. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh:
This is permissible, because this is a sale of wheat for deferred wheat. This is a sale of wheat for deferred wheat. It is not permissible. He gives him five hundred sacks now on the condition that he returns them to him when he harvests his crop. This is a sale of wheat for deferred wheat. Yes.
The questioner:
Is it permissible?
The Shaykh:
But if he gives him money now on the condition that he returns wheat to him later, this is a salam (forward sale) and there is no harm in it. Yes.
