Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Tell me about salam sales, and what is the ruling on selling what a person does not own?
Answer:
A salam sale is paying the price in advance and deferring the delivery of the item, because a person may need money while he has crops or date palms, so he takes the money on the condition that he will deliver the fruit to its owner in the future. Thus, it is paying the price in advance and deferring the delivery of the item. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah and found them engaging in salam sales for fruits for one or two years. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He left them as they were and guided them to correct this contract because they needed it. Yes.
