Summary
This fatwa leans towards the view that such a transaction should not be carried out. Trading gold as a ribawi item requires taqabudh, meaning both items must be handed over before the parties leave the contract session, in order to avoid riba nasiah. The handover may be constructive (hukmi), such as through an agent, or physical (hissi). The fatwa also advises against seeking out differing opinions on this matter and recommends the safer and more certain position.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami cenderung kepada pendapat bahawa transaksi sedemikian jangan dilakukan.
