Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question says: What is the ruling on one who sells a commodity for, say, one thousand riyals, and then buys it back from the one who bought it for less than its value?
Answer:
If this is, as mentioned previously, a sale of 'inah (a buy-back sale used to disguise a loan) and a stratagem to reach riba (usury or interest), then it is not permissible; because it is a stratagem to reach riba, and it is the sale of 'inah which has been prohibited. Yes.
