Buying gold online
Question
Is buying physical gold and silver bullion halaal or haram? As you know when buying gold online you pay with wire transfer then the payment clears and delivered for few days.
Answer
If you pay in any currency besides gold and you take physical possession of the gold, then it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
