The Ruling on 'Inah Sales and Its Evidence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another question, may Allah preserve you. He says: What is the ruling on 'inah sales, and what is the evidence for that?
Answer:
'Inah is forbidden; because it is a means to riba (usury or interest). 'Inah is when one sells a commodity for a deferred price, then buys it back from the borrower for a lower price. So he sold dirhams for fewer dirhams, and made the commodity a ruse under the name of sale. This is invalid. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
