Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A group of partners appointed one of them to buy goods for them. That agent went to a seller he knew and gave him a sum of money because he knew him, without the other partners. What is the ruling on that money? And if the partners give him permission, is it lawful for him?
The Shaykh:
We repeat the question.
The questioner:
A group of partners appointed one of them to buy goods for them, so that agent went to a seller he knew and gave him a sum of money,
The Shaykh:
It is he who gave the owner of the goods a preferential deal. The pronoun refers to him returning. Right? Yes, he must clarify. He gave the owner of the goods a preferential deal. He gave the buyer of the goods a sum of money, we do not know, yes.
