Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the difference between selling what we do not own and a salam sale?
Answer:
A salam sale is the advance payment of the price and the advance delivery of the item, on the condition that the item is described in the debt and is defined by that description. If the item being sold is defined by the description, there is no harm in that, and it carries the same ruling as a salam sale. Yes.
