Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have poor-quality dates. May I sell them for dirhams to the person from whom I intend to buy good-quality dates?
Answer:
If you receive the dirhams, there is no conflict. If you sell him the poor-quality dates and receive the dirhams, you may buy good-quality dates from him or from someone else with them. However, buying from him before you receive the dirhams is not permissible.
