Buying and Selling over the Internet and Transferring the Amount Before Taking Possession

Question:
In the present time, with communication tools like the computer, people have started, O Shaykh, to sell and buy through the internet, such that the amount is transferred before taking possession of the goods.

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, as long as it is a matter that has become common among people, and each one knows the other; the other knows him by his words, and there is no obstacle. Yes, because the default in transactions is permissibility; the default in transactions is permissibility, except for what evidence indicates to be forbidden. Yes, but note. Yes. This is not suitable for currency exchange, gold and silver with each other; this is not suitable, because it requires taking possession in the meeting. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
