Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, these are many questions, may Allah preserve you, asking: You have mentioned to us hadiths in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited a person from selling what he does not own. How
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
How do you reconcile this with what is mentioned in the chapter on the forward sale (salam), where one does not own these items at the present time?
The Shaykh:
The forward sale (salam) is a specific case; because people need it, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted it and approved it, because people need it. Yes.
