The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. How are you, Abu Salih? I hope you are well. Well, praise be to Allah. I am calling you from the Eastern Region. May Allah keep you safe. By Allah, I have ten thousand riyals. Yes. And a man came wanting to borrow.
The questioner : From me, he will give me a Datsun after a year, a Datsun, a Datsun, seventy-eight, this is for this year, the Datsun in those days was worth fifteen thousand at the time I paid him the money for it,
The Shaykh : Mm.
The questioner : and when the time came, after twelve months, the value became eighteen thousand, so I, if Allah wills, love what is lawful, and what is your opinion, I mean?
The Shaykh : No, as long as you agreed with him that you would pay him ten thousand riyals.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And he will give you after a year a Datsun described in full detail, so he gives you the car?
The questioner : He gives me the car.
The Shaykh : Whether its value reaches fifteen thousand or twenty thousand or thirty thousand, that is the provision of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
The questioner : Trust in Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
The Shaykh : Just as if its value decreased, you would not demand more from him.
The questioner : Just as if its value decreased, you would not demand more.
The Shaykh : If you gave him ten thousand and at the end of the year it became eight thousand, you are entitled to nothing but your car,
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, fine, it is just that its value on the day I paid him the ten thousand was, in those days, in that market, in the market in those days, fifteen thousand.
The Shaykh : In any case, you must want to make a profit.
The questioner : You must want it to be four.
The Shaykh : Four, but I tell you, if your friend is poor, it is good that you make the matter easy for him,
The questioner : Make the matter easy for him if my friend is poor.
The Shaykh : Yes, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged that, so whoever makes things easy for one in difficulty, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and the Hereafter.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, may Allah reward you with good, my brother, may Allah be with you, good.
