The ruling on purchasing an item from a person to whom a loan has already been granted from it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I gave him part of the value of the item, and I want to buy this item from him.
The Shaykh : What do you mean, and how?
The questioner : If he wants to buy a car worth ten thousand, and I gave him two thousand as a loan, and then I want to buy this car from him?
The Shaykh : And he brought it to the market, you mean? There is no harm. There is no harm, but it is better that you instruct someone to appoint someone to buy it for you, because perhaps if he sees that you are the one buying it, he might be shy and lower the price for you, in which case your loan would have resulted in a benefit. So it is better, if you have a desire for it, to appoint someone to buy it.
