The ruling on buying gold with the condition of buying from the seller
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There is a form of sale in the sale of gold these days, where if a woman comes to the seller to sell him gold, he says, "I will buy from you, but look at what you want from the gold you have." That is, he conditions that she look before he looks.
The Shaykh:
Whatever is suitable for him, he sells it and then buys it.
The questioner:
And he hands her the money.
The Shaykh:
It must be independent. He buys from her, or he gives her the money and then she buys it or does not buy it.
The questioner:
And he hands her the money.
The Shaykh:
This is a stratagem to sell gold for gold. Yes.
The questioner:
Is this from now?
The Shaykh:
From me, certainly.
The questioner:
And if he hands him the money in cash.
The Shaykh:
But it is not a condition; it must become a complete sale, a finished sale. He gives her her right; if she wishes, she buys, and if she wishes, she does not buy. Likewise, he sells the bad dates to him, and he takes his money; if he wishes, he buys, and if he wishes, he does not buy. It is not obligatory. Stratagems that lead to the forbidden are prevented. Indeed, the believer, if his actions are by intentions, if he buys the bad dates from him and then sells him the good dates without a condition, there is no condition.
