Giving up his place on the property investment waiting list in return for a sum of money
Question: 36397
My brother has applied to the property investment fund and he is still waiting for his turn on the list. Is it permissible for him to give his turn to me, if I give him a specific amount of money in return for that?.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
There is nothing wrong
with him giving up his place on the property investment waiting list in
return for a sum of money, because he is giving up a financial right, and it
is permissible to sell financial rights in return for compensation. But it
is essential to have the permission of the bank handling this investment. If
the bank gives permission and the two parties agree that one will pay money
in order to take the place of the other, then this is permissible and there
is nothing wrong with it.
And Allaah knows best.
