May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to buy fruit before it begins to ripen, in order to transport it to another country so that it does not spoil during the journey?
Answer:
So that it does not spoil during the journey. If you buy it before it begins to ripen, on the condition that it is cut immediately and can be used, there is no harm. If you cut it and it can be used, that is fine. However, if it cannot be used when cut, it is not permissible to sell it.
