What constitutes possession of a car

Question: If I buy a car for cash and pay the price, and this is recorded in the dealership’s records, is that sufficient for possession, or is it necessary to transfer ownership via the registration through the traffic department? I intend to sell it, please note.

Answer: If the sale is completed and you take possession of the car, you may dispose of it. However, you must take it out of the place of sale, moving it to your location, or to another place, or to another dealership, so that possession is completed. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade selling goods where they were bought until the merchants take them to their dwellings. Even if the remaining procedures are not completed, as long as the sale is completed between you and you separate, the sale is binding.
