Question:
Shaykh Salih, in our current time, the questioner says, communication tools and computers have spread, and people, Shaykh Salih, have started selling and buying via the internet, such that the amount is transferred immediately before taking possession of the goods.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if the conditions for the validity of the sale are met, such as the offer and acceptance, and the contract is concluded between them, and the value is sent before taking possession of the goods. There is nothing wrong with that; it is permissible to take possession of the goods before taking possession of the value, and it is permissible to take possession of the value before taking possession of the goods. There is nothing wrong with that according to what they agree upon, according to what is feasible for them. The default in transactions is permissibility, except for what evidence indicates is forbidden. Yes.
