The Ruling on a Sale Contingent on So-and-So's Approval
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, mentioned that the jurists stated that a sale is not permissible if one says, "I will sell you the house if So-and-So approves."
The Shaykh:
So how is it?
The questioner:
The jurists mentioned that a sale is not permissible if one says, "I will sell you the house if So-and-So approves."
The Shaykh:
Now, if I say, "I will sell it to you if Zayd approves," this is not valid because it is a contingent sale. This is what we just passed through; it is part of the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) we have here.
