Is it permissible to buy gold with the condition that if my family does not like it, I will return it to him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : My question is: when I went to the gold shop, the owner said to me when I wanted to buy a piece of gold: "Take it, and it is on approval; that is, if it does not suit you, return it." I did not like it, so should I return it to him now? Knowing that the time has been short.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with a person buying gold and saying, "If my family likes it, fine; otherwise, I will return it." If they like it, that is what was intended, and the price is what was agreed upon. Otherwise, he returns it. Likewise, if the price has not been paid, he says, "I want to take the item to show my family. If it suits them, I will buy it and pay the price; otherwise, I will return it." There is nothing wrong with that.
