Selling a Municipality-Granted Plot of Land Before the Deed Is Issued

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
What is the ruling on buying land from a person who received a grant from the municipality but has not yet obtained the legal deed for it, even though the date for receiving the deed from the notary public has been set for the month of Shawwal? If he has taken possession of the land, seen it, and knows its boundaries, is it permissible for him to sell it even if the deed has not been issued? But if he has not seen the land, does not know its boundaries, and does not know what is on it, and is only selling something based on a piece of paper, then this is not permissible, because he is selling what he has not taken possession of and what he has not received.
