Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person sells fruit before its ripeness becomes apparent through mutual agreement with the buyer, is this permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. This is a binding agreement on a forbidden matter. It is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling fruit until its ripeness becomes apparent. The prohibition implies that it is forbidden, and it implies that the contract is invalid.
