The discussion regarding the sale of a third party's property.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : A man was a friend of another, and he saw a person who wanted to buy his friend's car for several times its price, so he sold it to him. Is this permissible? Yes?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you understand the question? A person wanted to buy his friend's car for several times its price, so he sold it to him, meaning the friend sold it without the owner's permission.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is permissible because he will agree. Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This is the brother's statement.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : According to the school of jurisprudence, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh : According to the school of jurisprudence, it is not permissible. If he sells the property of another, it is not valid absolutely, even if he knows that he likes to sell it and that selling it is a benefit for him, it is still not permissible. And your saying "according to the school of jurisprudence" means that there is another opinion.
The questioner : Another.
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : That it is permissible if he knows that his friend is pleased to have a benefit, and the evidence is the hadith of 'Urwah ibn al-Ja'd, who bought for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission to buy a sheep. He bought two sheep, then sold the other for a dinar and returned the sheep and the dinar.
The Shaykh : Well done. So here he sold the property of another, or not? Good, he sold the property of another, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted his action, and this is the stronger position.
The questioner : Yes.
