Selling a commodity after receiving the earnest money before taking possession of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I have a company in the Maghreb for selling windows and doors. When a customer comes to me, I show him pictures of the available windows and doors. If he chooses one, I take a deposit from him, then I purchase it from France, and then I sell it to him. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
Yes, it is ready, there is nothing wrong with it, but do not sell it to him while you do not own it; do not sell it until you own it. Yes.
