Selling gold mixed with silver or with diamonds.

The Shaykh : If you have a piece of gold that contains silver, do you sell it?

Another questioner: No.

The Shaykh : Do they sell it?

Another questioner : They sell it in the market, yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, it does not move on its own.

Another questioner : They sell it, but we do not buy it.

The Shaykh : No problem.

Another questioner : But we buy gold that has beads with diamonds in it.

The Shaykh : Is that, is that permissible?

Another questioner : Based on the explicit text, it is not permissible.

The questioner : It means buying gold—our Shaykh—from foreign countries is not permissible; because it is all prepared in this manner... the cities.

The Shaykh : But he has now denied something and affirmed something, and in this affirmation he has thrown his state into confusion.

Another questioner : I am always throwing my state into confusion with you; is this the first time?

The Shaykh : Yes, but you have thrown me into Paradise.

Another questioner : All of us, if Allah wills.

The questioner : Let us change and switch a little.

Another questioner : By Allah—O Shaykh—the world does not benefit the Hereafter.

The Shaykh : A piece that has gold and diamonds, do you sell it?

Another questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, how is that?

Another questioner : All the diamonds are on gold.

The Shaykh : Oh?

Another questioner : A piece that has gold and diamonds, we sell it.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is it, I have understood you.

Another questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : I am telling you: How? Is this permissible? Do you not know that according to the Shari'ah, this must be separated from that to be sold?

The questioner : No, I know.

The Shaykh : You know; so then? Get yourself out of this predicament, and fear Allah.
