Buying gold and leaving it with the seller as a deposit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I want to buy gold for my wife at this time so that its price does not rise, because I am close to the wedding ceremony. He says: But I am afraid of it being stolen if I buy it. Is it permissible for me, after I buy it and pay the seller the full price, to leave it with the seller on the basis that it is a deposit for him to keep safe for me?
The Shaykh:
If you take possession of it and then return it to him for safekeeping after you have taken it, there is no objection. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is called "musyar marriage," what is its ruling from the perspective of the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh:
Also, I say that it is not necessary to deposit it with the one who sold it to you; leave it with his neighbor or with someone else.
