What is the ruling on selling a real estate loan?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man bought a real estate loan with a car, knowing that more than two years remain on the loan.

The Shaykh:
Yes, a man.

The questioner:
He bought the real estate loan with a car.

The Shaykh:
The real estate loan.

The questioner:
Yes, a man bought the real estate loan with a car.

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to sell a real estate loan; selling a real estate loan is not permissible, because it is given to a person in need to build a house in which to live. Is it permissible to use it for trade, buying, and selling? This is contrary to the purpose for which the loan was given. Yes.
