The Shaykh : What do you say about one who sold his slave and another person's slave without the latter's permission?
The questioner : It is valid regarding his slave, but it is not valid ... .
The Shaykh : Meaning, it is valid regarding his slave, but not regarding another person's slave? How do we handle this?
The questioner : We look at the proportion ... .
The Shaykh : Meaning, the price is divided between them?
The questioner : If it is ... .
The Shaykh : Meaning, if he sold his slave and another person's slave, it is valid regarding his slave but not the other, and the compensation is divided between them, fine. Does the buyer who bought the other one, you, does the buyer have the option? You were not present? Okay. Come, Abdul Aziz.
The questioner : If the situation was unknown, yes, otherwise no.
The Shaykh : If the situation was unknown, meaning he thought that both slaves belonged to the seller.
The questioner : Then he has the option in that matter.
The Shaykh : And if not?
The questioner : Otherwise, he does not have it.
The Shaykh : Why does he not have the option?
The questioner : Because he knew that this one did not belong to him.
The Shaykh : Meaning, he entered the transaction with full knowledge?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And because the sale is not valid. If he said, "I thought he was an agent."
The questioner : It is not valid.
The Shaykh : Was the situation not unknown then? Who knows?
The questioner : He is, O Shaykh, disposing of the owner's property.
The Shaykh : But does he have the option or not?
The questioner : He does not have the option if he said, "I thought he was an agent."
The Shaykh : Yes, so he does not have the option?
The questioner : If he said, "I thought he was an agent," then he has the option, O Shaykh, because he was ignorant.
The Shaykh : Meaning, he is considered ignorant if he said, "I knew that this slave belonged to so-and-so, but I thought the one who sold it to me was an agent," then we say to you that you have the option, because this is ignorance. Come, Aqil.
