Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I bought a camel in the market, and it was on the seller’s truck. Then a man came and offered me one hundred riyals more than what I paid as the price for this camel, so I sold it to him, and the camel was still on the previous seller’s truck. Is my action correct?
Answer:
Yes, it is valid, because he left it up to you to take the camel. If you wanted, you could have taken it. As long as you saw the camel and knew it, and he left it up to you to take it, but you are the one who left it there, and he did not prevent you, it is not permissible to sell the camel while it is on the seller’s truck, because it has become your property, not the seller’s. Yes.
