What is the ruling on selling one's name to another person if it is listed in the real estate bank?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah forgive you, if a person's name is listed in the real estate bank and he is entitled to a benefit from the real estate bank, is it permissible for him to sell it?
The Shaykh : No, if a person's name is listed in the real estate bank, if he needs it, let him use it; otherwise, he must return it to the authorities so that they can place in it whoever is entitled to it, because the one who sold it means that he has no need for it, is that not so?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Yes, and no.
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Say "yes" in response to "is that not so?"
Well, if he has no need for it, what is permissible for him to take money from this man who came later, when many people came before him and have priority over him? It is not permissible.
