The questioner:
He says: If a man sells a car to another man, and after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bought it for less than what he sold it for, then it is not permissible.
The Shaykh:
If.
The questioner:
If a man sells a car to another man, and after receiving the price, he buys it back for less than what he sold it for?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm if a man sells a car to another man for a price and receives it, and then the buyer wants to sell it and the owner buys it back; there is no harm in that, except if this is a ruse. If this is a ruse to exchange dirhams for dirhams and make the car a ruse, and if this is a ruse for riba (usury or interest), then it is not permissible. But if there is no ruse in it, then there is no harm in that.
