Buying a gold ring with gemstones for a single price
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: We buy gold in our country, and the rings contain crystal gemstones and the like. They are bought and weighed all at once, including the gemstones, for a single price. Is this riba (usury or interest), or must they be separated?
Answer:
If a person buys it for the gold it contains, this is not permissible. However, if it is sold for dirhams, or if the gemstones are sold for dirhams or other goods, there is no harm.
