The ruling on selling a car before paying its price
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I bought a car and agreed with its owner to pay him the price in two days. Then I took it to my house and sold it immediately before paying the price. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, because you took possession of it; you took it to your house, so you own it. Yes.
