For this sale to be acceptable, the buyer should fully possess the goods
before selling them for the second time, and the second sale should be
separate from the first sale
Furthermore, one should not sell the goods to the person from whom one
bought them in principle if the cost of the goods is lesser than the price
he bought them from him.
CITATION
These conditions are based on evidence. 'Abdullaah Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be
pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet (pbuh), prohibited selling the
goods unless one has fully taken possession of it beforehand. [Abu Daawood].
The Prophet (pbuh) said: "It is prohibited to give a loan with a condition that
the debtor buys goods from the lender; two conditions in one sale (like having
two prices one in cash payment and another in the delayed payment) are also
prohibited, and one is not permitted to benefit from any goods unless it
becomes fully in his possession and he can guarantee, and one is not permitted
to sell what he does not own." [At-Tirmithi] Imaam Muslim
