The Ruling on Salam in Weighed and Measured Goods
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
That is a scheme where you say to him, "I will give you this until you pay me back." No, if you give him his right, and he is poor and in need, and this is from your zakah, and you give him some of it without any collusion or arrangement, there is no harm.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe. If you sell the measured item by weight, or sell the weighed item by measure, there is no harm. If they offer this, there is no harm; the correct view is that there is no harm.
The questioner:
This is what the owners of factories deal with now: they pay the price in advance so that they manufacture goods for them with specific specifications that are not currently present in the factory; they are absent.
The Shaykh:
If the term is known, there is no issue. If it is for a specific term.
