The ruling on delaying the payment of a debt in a sale
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The first check was ten and seven, the last one was ten and five, yes, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace.
The questioner : Shaykh Nasser, yes, excuse me, Shaykh, we put up with this question, but please, I have twenty Jordanian dinars with me, yes, and a man came wanting to exchange them. I have the twenty dinars in one piece, yes, so I gave him fifteen dinars and I did not have five dinars with me. I told him, in half an hour, open five dinars, and the man said, okay. Is there something of riba (usury or interest) in this?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : What, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, because it is like-for-like, hand to hand.
The questioner : I agree with you, but the five pounds. My brother.
The Shaykh : I do not have time for argument. If you understood the answer, then fine.
The questioner : I understand the hadith.
The Shaykh : I do not have time for argument. This time is not just for you, it is for you and others.
The questioner : Oh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. His forgiveness.
The Shaykh : Peace.
