The questioner has asked the following:A businessman from Saudi Arabia sold Al Manar Complex for Oil Burnings at a rate of two million, two hundred thousand riyals to the Fund of Lending Young People Wishing to Marry at the governorate of `Unayzah. The sale was made on credit on the condition that the price be paid fully within two years from the date of the contract of sale. Now the Fund owes this sum to the businessman, but it is entitled to benefit from the gains of this station during these two years.The question is: Is it permissible to pay off this debt to the businessman from the charities donated by benevolent people to the Fund?We hope Your Eminence to provide us with the answer to this question. May Allah reward you with the best!
