The Criterion for Selling Old Gold for New
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a gold seller who says: I hope Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him) will clarify for us what concerns our sale of gold. If a person comes to us wanting to sell old gold and we exchange it for new gold, what is the criterion for this sale? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The criterion in this case is that he sells the gold he has for dirhams, then he takes the dirhams from him—he takes the gold from him—then after that he buys with the dirhams whatever he wants of the new gold.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
