Is it permissible to purchase gold from websites with payment upon delivery, such that the handover and receipt occur simultaneously, given that the available fatwas address cases of advance or delayed payment?

If the transaction is merely a non-binding appointment before payment and receipt of the gold, it is permissible. However, if the sale is conducted via the website and payment is upon receipt, this is not permissible.
