Using an amount taken for purchase, then purchasing with it after a period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I asked the Shaykh: If a person gives me an amount to buy something with after a certain period, and during that period I used the money I spent, and then when the time for the purchase came, I bought it for him, is Abu Hamid saying this is permissible or not?
Answer:
If he gave you permission, then it is permissible. If he did not give you permission, then you are in error. But in any case, you are required to guarantee it for him by giving him the equivalent of what you took from him. Yes.
