Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee states that gold is a ribawi (usury-bound) commodity. For gold jewellery of 916 (22 carat) and below, exchange with differing weight (tafadhul) between a customer and a shop, or a shop and a manufacturer, is permitted. The permission rests on processing and crafting charges, easing difficulty in transactions, and respecting commercial custom (uruf tijari), meaning current practice.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
