Selling gold under the condition that the buyer counsels with others before signing the contract
Q 4: Is it permissible to sell
gold under the condition that the buyer counsels with others before signing the contract?
This means that the buyer takes golden jewels and says: "I will sign the contract after consulting others about it. If it appears to me to be good, I will take it. Otherwise, I will return it to you." What is the ruling in this regard?
A:
The buyer is permitted to take golden ornaments from its owner under the condition of counseling with those whom he trusts about buying it or not. If they advise him to buy it, he can go to its owner and complete the contract of this transaction. The price should be handed to the seller and the sold object should be handed to the buyer at the same meeting of holding this contract.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
