The Meaning of "The Prohibition of Two Sales in One Sale"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Muhammad from Riyadh sent a set of questions, saying: Your Eminence, what is the meaning of "the prohibition of two sales in one sale"?
Answer:
Two sales in one sale: that he sells him a commodity on the condition of another sale, saying: "I will sell you my house on the condition that you sell me your house or your land, or on the condition that you lend me such and such." This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 4630Sahih (Darussalam) and because he prohibited two sales in one sale.
Included in this is that he sells him the commodity on credit and then buys it back for less. This is two sales in one sale, and it is called 'inah (usury or interest), which is not permissible. For example, he sells him the commodity for one hundred, then buys it back for eighty cash or sixty cash from him. This is a stratagem to obtain usury or interest, as if he gave him sixty cash so that he would return one hundred on credit. This is two sales in one sale, and it is one of the foundations of usury or interest. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
