Question:
He says: I bought gold for one thousand riyals, and I gave the seller five hundred riyals in cash and five hundred riyals by check. Is there anything wrong with that?
Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible; because the condition is that the exchange takes place, he hands you the gold, and you hand him the full value in the meeting, and you do not separate while there is something between you. And the check is a transfer, which is not possession; this is a transfer. Yes.
