Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: There are those who bring goods from abroad and invite people to buy them from him, then he invites people to buy them from him, and then they sell them to the people afterwards. Is this considered selling to the absent?
Answer:
No, it is not. He sold them what he owned; he is the one who sold it to them, and they did not find it [already sold]; he is the one who sold it to them. It is not [selling to the absent]. Yes.
