Does "lack of benefit" constitute damage that necessitates compensation from a legal and jurisprudential perspective in Islam?

If the sale fulfills its conditions, then the seller and the buyer must hand over what is incumbent upon them, and it is not permissible for either of them to delay except with the consent of the other party. If the seller has no excuse for delaying the delivery of the goods, then he is sinful, and he must deliver them, and his case should be referred to the ruler if he refuses.

As for selling goods that have not been taken possession of, it is not permissible, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) prohibition of selling goods until merchants take possession of them and move them to their own premises.
