The questioner : He says: Peace be upon you, and may Allah have mercy on you and His blessings. And upon you be peace, and may Allah have mercy on you and His blessings. If you lend a person a loan of money with the intention of saving this money, not with the intention of being kind, is this a sale?
The Shaykh : The answer is: No, this is not a sale. Rather, if you want to give it to him in this manner, make it a trust and a deposit.
The questioner : He says: This money is a deposit with you.
The Shaykh : Fine, if you are able, it means that you have been kind to him. Yes, this does not harm; this does not harm, because he benefited from it, whether you intended to respond to his request or intended something else.
