Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on subscribing to religious and cultural magazines for the next two years when they are not yet available? And what is the ruling on contracts and agreements when the materials to be worked on, such as iron and the like, are not available?
Answer:
This is a sale of goods (salam). This is like a sale of goods, where you buy something trusted in the debt, defined by its description, and you pay its value immediately in the contract session. It is permissible to advance the price and advance the item if the item is defined by its description and does not vary. This is a sale of goods (salam), and whether it is delivered in one installment or in installments, this is a salam sale, and it is permissible.
