The seller taking the money to exchange it and delaying the rest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: A person bought a specific item from a shop and did not find any change with the shop owner, so the seller took
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
He says: A person bought a specific item from a shop and did not find any change with the shop owner, so the seller took the one hundred or five hundred riyals and went to exchange them. Is this riba (usury or interest)?
The Shaykh:
If he goes to exchange it while you are sitting, and he comes back and gives you your due, giving you the rest and you accept it, that is his right and there is no problem with it. But if you give it to him and he says, "I will come tomorrow or later," that is not permissible. The separation must occur before taking possession. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
