Question

I intend to begin online precious metals trading (buying and selling gold online for example), and I read the mas’alah that “purchasing gold online in exchange of money” is permissible. Can you please explain what this means?

Answer

If you are going to physically receive the gold and thereafter sell it, it will be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
