Is it permissible to sell jewelry when half the price has been paid and it has been agreed to pay the remainder after a month, or is the sale valid only for the amount paid, or is the sale invalid?
It is not permissible to sell gold for money with deferred payment, whether the deferment is for the entire price or part of it. Seizure must occur at the contract session, as banknotes are treated like gold and silver in this regard.
If jewelry is purchased for a specific price, with part of it paid immediately and part deferred, the contract is valid for the immediate portion (the expedited amount) and nullified for the deferred portion. In this case, the excess of the seized amount of the jewelry's value is returned to the seller.
If the buyer does not deliver anything at all, the entire contract is void. If the jewelry can be divided without harm, the buyer takes the portion equivalent to the amount paid and returns the rest or pays its price immediately. However, if division is not possible or defeats the purpose, both parties have the right to annul the sale to prevent harm.
