Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I sell cars. Sometimes a customer comes to me and asks me to buy a specific type of car that I do not have. So I go and buy the car he requested, and then he pays me the price. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
He buys it and then sells it to him. There is no harm in that, provided he buys it and takes possession of it, and then sells it to the customer. Yes.
