Question:
What is the ruling on selling gold that contains beads for Saudi riyals without separating them?
Answer:
If gold is sold for dirhams, there is no harm in negotiating, as it is a different type of currency. The issue arises when gold is sold for gold; in that case, the gold must be separated from the rest and its weight must be known, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1255Sahih (Darussalam). This applies when a gold necklace is sold for gold, because the type is the same, so they must be equal in weight. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions.
