Currency exchange with separation before receiving the remainder
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. If a man goes to a place to exchange fifty riyals, and the one exchanging says, “I will give you twenty riyals now, and come back in a little while and I will give you the rest,” is this valid?
Answer:
No, this is not valid; because it is not permissible for them to separate while something is still between them. If the thing is exchanged, it is obligatory that he receives its full value before separating. If its value is in currency, currency for currency, then separation is not valid except after receipt.
