What is the ruling on buying a car that was purchased through a riba-based method?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the car issue, Shaykh, I did not clarify exactly what I meant, for example.
The Shaykh : No, you did clarify, but you just did not like it, meaning you did not want to be convinced by this statement.
The questioner : No, I am convinced, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : How was it not clear? I said that if it is more likely in the opinion of this buyer, as I believe, that he is facilitating dealing in riba, then it is not permissible. Why was it not clear to you?
The questioner : I mean, for example, this man might buy...
The Shaykh : I am asking you, I am asking you why it was not clear to you. I am repeating it to you a second time so that it becomes clear to you.
The questioner : Because I have something else in my mind, other than...
The Shaykh : Something else, raise it. But you say I did not clarify. No, I did clarify.
The questioner : I did not say you did not clarify.
The Shaykh : Then what did you say?
The questioner : But I said I did not understand the matter. Perhaps my understanding is like this.
The Shaykh: Good.
The questioner : My understanding is weak, perhaps.
The Shaykh : Okay, I am the one who is wrong. And it is still not clear to you?
The questioner : It is clear, if Allah wills, but the problem is regarding, for example, this man if...
The Shaykh : O our brothers, either leave for food or sit down, sit down for food.
The questioner : If he buys this item to sell it, meaning through halal means, no installments and no riba.
The Shaykh : What is the difference between the question?
The questioner : Then it is permissible.
The Shaykh : What is the difference between the first question and this one? You made this an addendum. What is the difference? Is he not buying a car that was purchased through riba?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the difference? It is a duplicate, right? What is the difference? Speak what is in your heart.
The questioner : I do not know.
The Shaykh : You do not know? Okay, it is not permissible.
The questioner : Does a temporary change to the human creation count as changing Allah's creation? A temporary change, temporary dyes that go away?
The Shaykh : I say, my brother, this is a question that follows a previous one, and consequently the answer will also follow a previous one. This question, do you not find an answer to it in what came before? Especially there was a person in the corner, and in the corners there are hidden things. He said, "Even if it is temporary." So you are repeating the same question.
The questioner : I mean, changing...
The Shaykh: Of course.
The questioner : Then lipstick is also from the changing.
The Shaykh : No, you did clarify, but you just did not like it, meaning you did not want to be convinced by this statement.
The questioner : No, I am convinced, if Allah wills.
