Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He sold it to him for a thousand dirhams in gold and silver. Brother, what is your name?
The questioner : Ayub.
The Shaykh : O Ayub, he sold him a commodity for a thousand dirhams in gold and silver?
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : And what? Be patient, consider, my brother, what do you say?
The questioner : He sold it to him for a thousand dirhams.
The Shaykh : Yes, in gold and silver.
The questioner : It is not permissible because...
The Shaykh : Be patient, be patient, is it not permissible or is it permissible?
The questioner : What is the question?
The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah. The question is: he sold it to him for a thousand dirhams in gold and silver. He said, "I sold you this car for a thousand dirhams in gold and silver." Is the sale valid or is it not valid?
The questioner : It is not valid.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : Because it is not specified, meaning which is more, the gold or the silver.
The Shaykh : In any case, it does not exceed a thousand dirhams. Note that it will not exceed a thousand dirhams.
The questioner : He said gold and silver, but did not specify how much is gold and how much is silver.
The Shaykh : Is it correct, everyone?
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : Because perhaps he gives me, for example, the value of nine hundred dirhams in gold and one hundred dirhams in silver, or the reverse. Okay, he sold it to him for a thousand in gold and silver? Come on, O ...?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Is it valid or not valid?
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : How do we handle it?
The questioner : For a thousand in gold and silver.
The Shaykh : For a thousand in gold and silver, is it valid?
The questioner : It is valid.
The Shaykh : How is it valid? I do not know which one? I do not know if it is five hundred and five hundred, or eight hundred and two hundred, or seven hundred and three hundred? The one next to you? Okay, Yasser?
The questioner : Then it is valid.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : It is interpreted as an equal division.
The Shaykh : Correct. If he said for a thousand in gold and silver, we say it is valid, and the price is five hundred dirhams and five hundred dinars. Okay. If he sold it to him for its number, brother? Yes, that is right.
The questioner : If it is ... .
The Shaykh : Because it is not valid? Because the state might force him to this price, like that?
The questioner : ... It is not valid.
The Shaykh : In any case?
The questioner : Yes, absolutely.
The Shaykh : If the seller and the buyer do not know it.
The questioner : It would be valid if it was from the state, but if it was from the seller, then it is not valid.
The Shaykh : Correct, and this opinion is the correct one. Yes, come on, O Ibrahim?
The questioner : Ayub.
The Shaykh : O Ayub, he sold him a commodity for a thousand dirhams in gold and silver?
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : And what? Be patient, consider, my brother, what do you say?
The questioner : He sold it to him for a thousand dirhams.
The Shaykh : Yes, in gold and silver.
The questioner : It is not permissible because...
The Shaykh : Be patient, be patient, is it not permissible or is it permissible?
