Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when is the deposit returned and when is it taken in the case of those who deal in real estate?
Answer:
The deposit is not returned if a person sells a commodity to someone and gives him the option, and takes a deposit from him. If he decides to take the commodity, he pays the rest of the price. If he does not decide, the deposit belongs to the owner of the commodity as compensation for holding it for that period. Yes.
