The Indication of the Hadith of Fatimah Regarding the Permissibility of Selling Gold
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the hadith of Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him). The hadith you mentioned, Shaykh, in the context of wedding trinkets.
The Shaykh : Indeed.
The questioner : Purity? Yes. Yes.
The Shaykh : The hadith of the ring.
The questioner : The hadith of Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him).
The Shaykh : The hadith of the large rings.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good. This one, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, what is the matter with it?
The questioner : Yes, I have a doubt regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he ordered Fatimah to remove these rings.
The Shaykh : No, it was a command.
The questioner : Once again, so I believe it. Is this evidence for the permissibility of selling this type of gold?
The Shaykh : Yes, but does it indicate to you the type for which this gold is sold?
The questioner : What?
The Shaykh : Does the hadith indicate to you the type and kind for which it is permissible to sell this gold?
The questioner : Allah knows best. I mean, this is what you asked about.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no evidence that it is permissible for a Muslim to sell what he is not permitted to enjoy, because Allah says[Al-Ma'idah 5:2], and if it is necessary to specify the type that is permissible to sell, then they are those about whom Allah said [At-Tawbah 9:29].
The questioner : So, from this text, there is no definitive evidence for the permissibility of selling this type?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Yes, I mean, if there is no evidence, then.
The Shaykh : It is a window, therefore.
The questioner : When I read this hadith, I saw that when Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) sold these rings, I thought perhaps this is evidence for the permissibility of selling this type.
The Shaykh : And I want to point out to you that the rings have no connection to Fatimah, but rather to the daughter of Hubayrah. The Dwar of al-Suwayrah. Do you know the Dwar of al-Suwayrah? Yes.
The Shaykh : Indeed.
The questioner : Purity? Yes. Yes.
The Shaykh : The hadith of the ring.
The questioner : The hadith of Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him).
The Shaykh : The hadith of the large rings.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good. This one, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, what is the matter with it?
The questioner : Yes, I have a doubt regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he ordered Fatimah to remove these rings.
The Shaykh : No, it was a command.
The questioner : Once again, so I believe it. Is this evidence for the permissibility of selling this type of gold?

The questioner : Allah knows best. I mean, this is what you asked about.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no evidence that it is permissible for a Muslim to sell what he is not permitted to enjoy, because Allah says
but do not cooperate in sin and aggression
وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِFight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَThe questioner : So, from this text, there is no definitive evidence for the permissibility of selling this type?
