If the owner of a farm sells his wheat crop via a forward sale, is it permissible for him to store it in the silos under his own name so that the buyer can obtain the price from there?

The questioner : A questioner asks: If the owner of a farm sells his wheat crop via a forward sale, is it permissible for him to store it in the silos under his own name so that the buyer can obtain the price from there?

The Shaykh : It is obligatory for the Muslim to be truthful and clear in his selling and buying and in all his affairs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Therefore, it is not permissible for the farm owner to store his crop, which he sold via a forward sale, in the silos of another person under his own name, meaning under the name of the farm owner. This is because this wheat was not his property; rather, its ownership has transferred to the buyer. When this happens, we say that both parties must repent to Allah and not return to such a practice. Yes.
