The ruling on selling two plots of land in a cheap area for a plot of land in an expensive area
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if I sell two plots of land in a cheap area for a plot of land in an expensive area, is this riba (usury or interest)?
Answer:
As for land, whatever is included in it is permissible. You may want a small plot of land in a place that is in demand by people, and there is a lot of land in a place that is not in demand. This is not what is included in it. Yes.
