Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Cash for fifty. The bank bought it, meaning for the bank, because it buys many cars, so it buys at a lower price and sells it for fifty to this same man. Is this scenario permissible? I mean, if the man...?
The Shaykh : I understood, I understood. You are going to know if I understood or not when I ask you the next question and you answer it. In the previous scenario, the car agency sells the car, say a model for fifty thousand cash. I asked you before if the bank sells for fifty on installments, and you said no. But now... the question has developed and the answer has developed. I said no, the bank sells on installments at the same price that the agency sells for in cash.
The questioner : I assumed the other scenario.
The Shaykh : No problem. Now I said this: I did not say anything else to you. Now I said this: this is a real scenario, this is a hypothetical scenario. I am not concerned with verification right now, but this scenario is different from that one. Now I am asking you about the scenario, whether it is hypothetical or real. If it is real... a person at the bank who wants to sell this car with the known specifications of the company that sells it for fifty cash, and the bank is going to sell it to him for how much? Fifty on installments. A rich, wealthy man comes and says, I want to buy it cash from the bank. Will it sell it to him for less?
The questioner : I do not know.
The Shaykh : You don't know? Do you know or do you not know?
The questioner : No, no, I don't know, of course.
The Shaykh : But assume that it sells for less. So, what is the difference between the second scenario and the first? Stop the donkey.The Shaykh : At the obstacle...
