Currency exchange with the deferral of part of the amount

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I asked one of the brothers to exchange five hundred riyals for me, but I found he only had four hundred and fifty, and he promised me the rest at another time, is that permissible?

Answer:
No, this is currency exchange. In currency exchange, it is necessary that each party receives his full right in the meeting. So this is not valid; you take some of it and defer the rest to another time. Either he waits until you settle the account with him, or you go to someone else to exchange for you and you pay him. Yes.
