He asks: What is the ruling on purchasing owned land by looking only at the location and the plan, without physically inspecting it?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with purchasing by description, provided it is known through sight or a description that defines it. There is nothing wrong with the purchase, but it is not permissible for him to dispose of it by selling, giving, or otherwise until he takes possession of it and knows its boundaries. At that point, he may dispose of it. Yes.
