The ruling on purchasing goods while some money remains with the seller, and the ruling on this in currency exchange
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a person goes to the grocery store and buys something, then gives him the price,So the shopkeeper said: I don't have change, so he leaves the price with him,Or if he gave him the price and said: I don't have change and leaves these coins with the shopkeeper, is this permissible?
Meaning, a man buys a need from the shop for eighty riyals and has a one-hundred-riyal bill and says to the shopkeeper: Give me back twenty,He said: I don't have anything, so there is no harm in leaving the hundred with him and then returning at another time to take the twenty.
The questioner: If I return the hundred riyals?The Shaykh: There is no need to return the hundred, why would he return it?The questioner: If the seller is satisfied that the amount remains with the buyer.
The Shaykh: There is no harm, there is no issue with this,If he says: You are not obligated to pay me the price in cash, whenever you come, bring it, there is no harm,But if the shopkeeper said: I will not give you anything unless you give me the price of the goods,We say: Give him the hundred riyals and twenty riyals remain with him, unlike currency exchange,If you went to the money changer and said: This hundred riyals, give me some ten-riyal bills,He said: I only have nine ten-riyal bills, this exchange is not permissible, he must give you the entire hundred, otherwise look for someone else.
