Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : We are calling you from the UAE.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : How are you?
The Shaykh : We praise Him constantly.
The questioner : I don't know, we have a question for the Shaykh, if possible.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Regarding the fact that I am a car dealer, meaning.
The Shaykh : What are you?
The questioner : I am a car dealer; I sell cars. I called you about two or three months ago regarding selling cars to banks, for example, through the banks. Now I have stopped selling cars through the banks, meaning I only sell for cash.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Are you with me, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I am entirely with you.
The questioner : So, praise be to Allah, I have stopped selling through the banks, I am telling you.
The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, my brother. You stopped for your own benefit, not for mine.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : But, Shaykh, for example, someone comes to exchange his old car and wants to add to it, for example, he wants to buy a new car from me and needs to add some money to it. Is this okay?
The Shaykh : Meaning, for example, the old car is worth five thousand and the new one is worth ten thousand, so you agree on the price of the old one at five thousand, for example, and he pays you the other five thousand, like that?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with that; it is permissible.
The questioner : Permissible, Shaykh, right?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
