Summary
Exchanging ribawi goods such as gold requires two conditions: hand-to-hand delivery between both parties, and equality in weight and measure. For this case, the fatwa recommends selling the 24-carat gold first, then using the proceeds together with the additional money to buy the 46-carat gold. This follows the hadith of Bilal and the dates, in which the Prophet told him to sell his dates first and then buy the better dates separately.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam kes penanya, kami syorkan emas 24 karat itu dijual terlebih dahulu, kemudian dengan hasil jualan itu, ditambah dengan duit penanya, digunakan untuk membeli emas 46 karat itu.
