Ahsan Allahu ilaykum. Someone I know bought alot of gold in recent years, by paying the bank then a week later you pick up the gold from the bank. Now they know the ruling about buying gold only hand to hand. Is the gold they own from this dealing permissible?

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan
Yes, but they should pay attention and learn before they engage in business or that which is profitable.
