The Ruling on the Buyer’s Disposition of Real Estate Before Transfer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I purchased a plot of land, and the seller handed me a receipt for the amount paid, until the title deed for the land is issued to me. Is it permissible to sell it before the deed is issued? Or is that included in selling what one does not own?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: If the sale has taken place between you, you are permitted to dispose of it, even if the issuance of the deed is delayed. And success is from Allah.
