Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on buying gold with a check?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. Some say that if the check is guaranteed, it takes the place of the money in it. This is not permissible, and neither is that. I recall that a decision was issued on this matter by the Fiqh Council in Makkah, and I did not sign it, because it is selling an absent item for a present one. Yes.
