Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some have cited the hadith of Abu Sa'id and Abu Hurayrah as evidence for the permissibility of the buy-back sale ('inah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sell the dates for dirhams, then buy with the dirhams a large quantity of dates."
Answer:
No, it is not a buy-back sale ('inah). This is a case where he sells them and takes the money, then buys. You sell the poor-quality dates for dirhams, then take the dirhams and buy the good-quality dates.
