Selling gold and the customer retaining part of the price
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another person says: I am the owner of a shop that sells and buys gold. In some cases, a small amount of the price remains with the customer, and I know this person. Should I let him go and come back with the rest, or should I take the gold from him, or not?
Answer:
No, no, the gold remains with you until he brings the full price. If he dies, the gold remains with you until he completes the price, hand to hand. If he dies, for example, with a gold necklace or rings or a set for one thousand or two thousand riyals, you do not give him the gold until he brings the rest. If he asks, "Is the gold with you?" If he pays you the right hand to hand, you give him the gold. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Gold for silver, hand to hand, this for that.
