The Ruling on Selling a Car Before Transferring Its Title to the Buyer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), I went to the showroom and bought a car for a sum of one hundred thousand riyals. I paid the full price and it became mine, but the transfer was not completed due to a deficiency in the number. Another man bought it from me for an additional twenty thousand, in exchange for reducing the car's price over a period of two years without any installment. So, I also knew of another option, and the car was transferred directly to his name from the showroom because they have the authority to be its custodian.
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell the car until you complete the procedures that transfer it to you, including the registration card, the name, and so on. You must complete the procedures. Once the procedures are complete, it becomes your property, and it is then permissible for you to sell it. Yes.
