Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. What is the form of the sale of the 'arabun? And what is its ruling?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : What is the form of the sale of the 'arabun and what is its ruling?
The Shaykh : Which 'arabun?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I say, I bought this telephone from you for ten riyals. This is two riyals. If the sale is completed, it is the first part of the price, and how much remains?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Huh? How much remains? The question is for the questioner?
The questioner : Eight.
The Shaykh : And if the sale is not completed, the two riyals are yours. This is it. This is permissible and there is benefit in it, because if the seller returns the goods, their value will decrease among people, especially if they learn of it. So these two riyals compensate for what is lost in value. And the buyer is also in a safe position, as he loses two riyals and not ten.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : It is all one thing. The 'arabun is permissible. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : This is from the guests. A guest who has no question... The student. And this one on the left is fine.
