The ruling on dealing with salam in soap
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person took ten thousand riyals from him... The man says: I gave him two hundred cartons of soap, which came out to sixteen thousand riyals for me. So please inform us, O Shaykh, is there any riba in that?
Answer:
If it is a salam where he gave him ten thousand... for soap, with the soap being known and for a specified term, there is no harm, just as one gives salam for dates, rice, and the like. If the soap is a known item that is not obscure, and they specified it by its description for a known term—whether a year or more—there is no harm, no blame. Provided that the price was taken in the meeting. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you.
